Background. In China, the cases of liver transplantation (LT) from donation after citizensâ?? death have rose year by year since the\ncitizen-based voluntary organ donor system was initiated in 2010. The objective of our research was to investigate the early\npostoperative and late long-term outcomes of LT from donation after brain death (DBD) and donation after circulatory death\n(DCD) according to the current organ donation system in China. Methods. Sixty-two consecutive cases of LT from donation\nafter citizensâ?? death performed in our hospital between February 2012 and June 2017 were examined retrospectively for shortand\nlong-term outcomes. These included 35 DCD LT and 27 DBD LT. Result. Subsequent median follow-up time of 19 months\nand 1- and 3-year graft survival rates were comparative between the DBD group and the DCD group (81.5% and 66.7% versus\n67.1% and 59.7%; P = 0 550), as were patient survival rates (85.2% and 68.7% versus 72.2% and 63.9%; P = 0 358). The duration\nof ICU stay of recipients was significantly shorter in the DBD group, in comparison with that of the DCD group (1 versus 3\ndays, P = 0 001)......................
