Factors affecting survival to intestinal transplantation in the very young pediatric patient.
Transplantation. 2008; (9): 1287-9
Very young pediatric patients awaiting intestinal transplantation have a high mortality rate due to long waiting times, scarcity of appropriate size donor organs, and mortality due to sepsis and liver failure. To investigate specific risk factors impacting survival to intestinal transplantation, we performed a 4-year institutional retrospective study comparing children who received grafts by age 18 months with children 18 months or younger who died while on the waiting list.
