To determine the effect of marginal donor livers on mortality and graft survival in liver transplantation (LT) recipients. Materials and methods: Donors with any 1 of following were considered marginal donors: age =>65 years, sodium level =>165 mmol/L and cold ischemia time =>12 h. Donors were classified according to the donor risk index (DRI) 1.7. The transplant recipients' model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scores were considered low if 20. Early graft dysfunction (EGD) and mortality rate were evaluated. Results: During the study period 47 patients underwent cadaveric LT. The mean age of the donors and recipients …

Acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is proposed as a prognostic marker and found to be related to worse clinical outcomes in various cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between admission neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and in-hospital mortality in acute type I aortic dissection. Materials and methods: We retrospectively evaluated 123 consecutive patients who had undergone emergent surgery for acute type I aortic dissection. Patients were divided into 2 groups as patients dying in the hospital (Group 1) and those discharged alive (Group 2). All parameters, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, were compared …
