Introduction: Geographical disparities, quantity and quality of organs may result in different liver acceptance patterns among transplant teams. Purpose. To determine the standard quality of the organ in cadaveric liver transplantation, according to the region of the supply and the clinical status of the recipient. Methods: We used the variation of the donor risk index (DRI) of the 4 OPO in Paraná (Curitiba, Maringá, Londrina and Cascavel) and national OPO. The sample included all adults undergoing liver transplantation from deceased donor between November, 2015 and February 2019 (n=135), in a single center. Results: The mean DRI of patients was 1.37 (interquartile range [IIQ] 1.09-1.59). Mean DRI per offering OPO ranged from 1.26 to 1.76 (p
