TL;DR: CRSs were not reliable prognostic tools for patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy before liver resection in this analysis and should not be relied on as a prognostic tool for overall survival.

TL;DR: The analysis indicated that the use of a specific miRNA expression pattern in combination with a limited tumour burden as defined by the Milan criteria may lead to a more accurate prediction of tumour recurrence.

TL;DR: Increased BMI at kidney transplantation is a predictor of adverse outcomes, including delayed graft function, although the role of weight reduction for improving graft function is not clear.

TL;DR: Existing evidence implicates the use of the White-test after hepatic resection to identify bile leaks intraoperatively and thus reduce incidence of post-operative biliary leakage, and there is a requirement for a high-quality randomized controlled trial with adequately powered sample-size to confirm findings and further increase evidence in this field.

TL;DR: A risk-adapted prospective analysis of outcome and definition of a quality catalogue for liver transplant centers in Germany is proposed, weighing federal state sovereignty and regional medical requirements against an optimal patient supply while respecting a plausible risk adaption for each center.
