Popis: Introduction and Objectives: Prevalence of patients with decompensated cirrhosis with requirement of liver transplantation (LT) has increased in our country. A significant percentage of patients with this condition belongs to a geriatric population, which could contraindicate LT, although trends in other countries indicate that the results of LT in geriatric patients are excellent.To assess one-year survival of LT patients over 60 years Materials and Patients: Retrospective, observational, and analytical study of patients over 60 years who underwent LT, evaluating survival, cold ischemia time (CIT), hot ischemia time (HIT), and donor age (DA), compared with a group of patients under 60 years who underwent LT.We evaluated survival over time in months with a follow-up at one year of recipients under 60 years and older than 60 using the Kaplan-Meier curve and the log-rank test, with a significant alpha level
