The Factors Affecting Mortality After Pediatric Liver Transplantation and Long-Term Survival Outcomes: A Single Center Experience

•Pediatric liver transplantation can be performed safely with technical variant grafts and whole liver grafts.•The pediatric end-stage liver disease score, hepatic artery thrombosis, and portal vein thrombosis are associated with overall mortality.•Reducing the vascular complication rates can provide superior results in pediatric liver transplantation. Liver transplantation (LT) is a treatment modality in the pediatric population for several diseases like biliary atresia, metabolic liver disease, hepatoblastoma, and so on. According to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, 5-year survival was reported as 85.4% to 93.5% by age after pediatric liver transplantation (PLT). This study aimed to evaluate our single-center experience of PLT by analyzing long-term results, comparing the outcomes with the literature, and identifying predictors of patient survival. The data of 40 patients who underwent LT at
