From 2014 to 2017, centers were willing to accept older donors to address increasing organ shortages and more patients received transplant under ECMO care. Increasing age was a strong independent factor for intermediate-term survival, however, post-transplant comorbidities did not differ among age groups. Further studies with longer follow-up duration are needed to better understand age-related post-transplant prognosis.
