Indeed, a borderline significant difference was observed for 1 and 2 years post-transplant mortality (1 year: 12.5% in patients transplanted from HCV+ donors vs. 14.1% in patients with HCV- donors, p = 0.059; 2 years: 18.4% vs. 20.2%, p = 0.054) which was again completely explained out by the bias in the year of transplant (both p > 0.21 after adjustment for year).

Long-term outcomes of liver transplantation in patients with hepatitis C infection are not affected by HCV positivity of a donor.
