Abstract
AIM: To identify objective predictive factors for donor after cardiac death (DCD) graft loss and using those factors, develop a donor recipient stratification risk predictive model that could be used to calculate a DCD risk index (DCD-RI) to help in prospective decision making on organ use. METHODS: The model included objective data from a single institute DCD database (2005-2013, RESULTS: DCD graft survival predictors were primary indication for transplant ( CONCLUSION: The DCD-RI score independently predicted graft loss (
