- Abstract
10.1097/TP.0000000000003368 19 Weiss E.S., Allen J.G., Kilic A., Russell S.D., Baumgartner W.A., Conte J.V., Shah A.S. Development of a quantitative donor risk index to predict short-term mortality in orthotopic heart transplantation. Since donor LOS is not a commonly reported characteristic in the literature, the impact of prolonged donor ICU stay on survival after HTx has not been well examined. Lastly, since donor brain stem death is a significant contributor to donor heart dysfunction and primary graft dysfunction (PGD), it would be important to analyse whether donors with a prolonged LOS in the ICU were associated with higher rates of PGD [[18]]. Outcome and Midterm Survival after Heart Transplantation Is Independent from Donor Length of Stay in the Intensive Care Unit.
