  19. Liver Transplantation at King’s • Transplant activity: • 90 day patient mortality and graft loss • One-, three- and five-year patient survival rates during the last ten years • Adult elective first liver transplant (risk adjusted) • Adult super urgent first liver transplant (risk adjusted) • Paediatric elective first liver transplant (unadjusted) • Paediatric super urgent first liver transplant (unadjusted) A risk-adjusted survival rate is an estimate of what the survival rate at a centre would have been if they had had the same mix of patients as that seen nationally and therefore it presents estimates in which differences in patient mix across centres have been removed as much as possible

  20. Liver Transplantation at King’s • 90-day mortality and graft loss for adult elective first liver transplant (Year 2012-2013) NHSBT Annual Report 2014

  21. Liver Transplantation at King’s NHSBT Annual Report 2014

  30. Conclusions • There is a definitive increased in DCD and DBD donation in the UK • The number of liver transplants is increasing in the UK • There is a lot of effort and resources applied to DCD’s but still the number of transplants performed using these livers is relatively small • DBD’s are still the best source of organs for clinical liver transplantation • King’s College Hospital outcomes for liver transplantation (adult and paediatric) have been consistently good during the last ten years • The work of our SNOD’s is fundamental for the success of our Liver Transplant Programme
