Objective In the era of organ shortage, redo liver transplantation (reLT) is frequently discussed in terms of expected poor outcome, high cost and therefore wasteful resources. However, there is a lack of benchmark data to reliably assess outcomes after reLT. The aim of this study was to define the ideal reLT case, and to establish clinically relevant benchmark values for best achievable outcome in reLT. Methods We collected data on reLT between January 2010 and December 2018 from 22 high volume transplant centers on three continents. Benchmark cases were defined as recipients with model of end-stage liver disease score Results Out of 1110 reLT 413 (37.2%) qualified as benchmark cases. Benchmark values included: Length of intensive care unit and hospital stay: =3a complications and the CCI at 1 year: Conclusion ReLT remains associated with high morbidity and mortality. The availability of benchmark values for outcome parameters of reLT may serve for comparison in any future analyses of individuals, patient groups, or centers, but also in the evaluation of new therapeutic strategies and principles.
