Whites were 2.1 times more likely than African-Americans, two times more likely than Asians and 1.6 times more likely than Hispanics to receive a liver transplant.

This is the first large, population-based study evaluating liver transplantation in the United States. Marked ethnic differences in receipt of transplants should be examined further, and reasons for these disparities clarified.

We determined that people of a younger age, who are married and who have smaller tumors were associated with a higher likelihood of receipt of a transplant.

If patients meet the criteria for transplantation, this approach offers an excellent chance for long-term survival.
