Title: Assessment of liver allograft viability during ex vivo normothermic machine perfusion using the MS2 score
Abstract: Introduction Utilization of extended criteria donor organs becomes more and more frequent in order to counteract waitlist mortality. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) facilitates checking liver allografts for their viability and has the scope to improve graft quality. A variety of perfusion criteria have been reported previously to assure graft viability. After establishing NMP at University Hospital Muenster we aim to critically evaluate and simplify existing assessment scores and would like to introduce the MS2score (Münster machine score).
