Abstract
Oversized allografts were not associated with an increase in post-LTx complications. However, LTx recipients of undersized allografts were more likely to experience PGD, tracheostomy, and had higher resource utilization. Higher acuity in the undersized group might explain these findings; however, multivariate models suggest an independent association between undersizing, PGD, and resource utilization.
