Center expansion of liver transplants using donation after circulatory death organs is associated with reduced overall waitlist mortality

Waitlist outcomes in liver transplantation (LT) for individual recipients are improved by use of allografts procured through donation after circulatory death (DCD). However, the impact of increased DCD acceptance on overall center outcomes is unknown.
