Transplantation. 1994 Oct 15;58(7):800-3.
A retrospective examination was performed, including a case control study, of 40 patients aged 60 years and over who underwent liver transplantation at King's College Hospital, London, UK, between 1988 and September 1993. There was no significant difference between elderly patients and younger patients in preoperative condition, intraoperative interventions, or outcome assessed by survival, complication rate, and duration of stay on the intensive care unit. The only significant difference between age groups was the median length of hospital stay, which was 24 days for the elderly versus 20 days for younger patients. We conclude that age up to 70 years should not be a barrier to liver transplantation.
我们对1988年至1993年9月期间在英国伦敦国王学院医院接受肝移植的40名60岁及以上患者进行了回顾性检查，包括病例对照研究。老年患者与年轻患者在术前状况、术中干预或通过生存率、并发症发生率和重症监护病房住院时间评估的结果方面没有显著差异。年龄组之间唯一的显著差异是住院时间中位数，老年患者为24天，而年轻患者为20天。我们得出结论，70岁以下的年龄不应成为肝移植的障碍。
