Pegah Golabi, James M. Paik, Tamoore Arshad, Youssef Younossi, Alita Mishra, Zobair M. Younossi – 19 May 2020 – Although nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with obesity, it can also occur in lean and metabolically normal individuals. Our aim was to determine the effect of different combinations of abdominal adiposity and overall adiposity on the mortality of NAFLD. The Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey with mortality data from the National Death Index were used. NAFLD was defined as steatosis without other liver diseases.

Roll – 17 May 2020 – Declining a liver offer during organ procurement likely increases the risk of discard, but the specifics around late reallocation remain obscure. This voluntarily submitted, prospectively collected data describe late declines and the ultimate disposition of 893 livers. Once a liver suffered an intraoperative decline, only 49% of recovered livers were transplanted.
