Each donor hospital determined whether organ recoverywas performed using NRP or SRR. The propensity scores techniquebased on the inverse probability of treatment weighting(IPTW) was used to balance covariates across study groups;logistic and Cox regression models were used for binary andtime-to-event outcomes.Results: During the study period, there were 95 cDCD livertransplants performed with postmortem NRP and 117 withSRR. The median donor age was 56 years (interquartile range45–65 years). After IPTW analysis, baseline covariates were balanced,with all absolute standardised differences <0.15. IPTWadjustedrisks were significantly improved among NRP liversfor overall biliary complications (odds ratio 0.14; 95% CI 0.06–0.35, p <0.001), ischaemic type biliary lesions (odds ratio 0.11;95% CI 0.02–0.57; p = 0.008), and graft loss (hazard ratio 0.39;95% CI 0.20–0.78; p = 0.008).Conclusions: The use of postmortem NRP in cDCD liver transplantationappears to reduce postoperative biliary complications,ischaemic type biliary lesions and graft loss, and allowsfor the transplantation of livers even from cDCD donors ofadvanced age.
