Abstract
Background: Currently, 30% macrovesicular steatosis (MaS) content is usually assigned empirically as the boundary between "use" and "refuse" a donor liver for liver transplantation (LT); however, this cut-off is questionable due to the lack of systemic evidence of the efficiency relative to prognosis prediction.
