Figure 3 Ischaemic cholangiopathy for donation after circulatory death and donation after brain death liver recipients. A meta-analysis: Eight studies reported IC rates for both DCD and DBD cohorts. These studies demonstrated an IC rate of 16% (8%-38%) for DCD recipients compared with 3% (0%-8%) of DBD recipients. DCD recipients had a 10.8 times increased odds of IC (95%CI: 4.8-24.2)[16]. DCD: Donation after circulatory death; DBD: Donation after brain death; IC: Ischaemic cholangiopathy.
