Abstract

Since February 2002, the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) proposed to adopt a modified version of the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) to assign priority on the waiting list for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). In this study, we evaluated the impact of MELD score on liver allocation in a single center series of 198 liver recipients (mean age of patients, 52.21 ± 8.92 years), considering the relationship between clinical urgency derived from MELD score (overall MELD, 18.7 ± 6.83; MELD
