Bar graph titled "Figure 2. Bar Graph Showing Posttransplant Survival and Donor Age". It shows mean age and 1-y graft survival from 1995-1999 to 2020-2024. The 1-y graft survival is higher in DBD than DCD. The mean age is similar in both.
💬 Perspective: Advanced organ preservation techniques have facilitated the increased use of organs from donors after circulatory death (#DCD), improving outcomes and increasing access for more patients.
