Due to the severe shortage of the donor pool in China, a large number of patients are waiting for a suitable liver, or even worse lose the opportunity of transplantation. Reasonable use of hepatitis B surface antigen-positive (HBsAg-positive) donors is one possible strategy to increase the donor pool but the long-term outcome in a Chinese population is unknown. To evaluate the safety of using of HBsAg-positive donor for liver transplantation, we set up a multicentric retrospective study from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2012. A total of 8632 patients underwent liver transplantation during the period and 282 (2.97%) received a liver from a HBsAg-positive donor. A total of 259 cases in both the case and control groups were matched. The incidence of postoperative liver dysfunction, early-stage and long-term complications and the 1-, 3- and 5-year patient survival (78.92% vs 85.65%, 60.41% vs 69.14%, 58.08% vs 69.14%, respectively) showed no difference between the two groups (P value > 0.05). However, the 1-, 3- and 5-year HBV recurrence for patients received the HBsAg-positive donor was higher compared with controls (5.85% vs 1.97%, 11.63% vs 4.46%, 17.94% vs 4.46%, respectively, P value = 0.016). Our results showed the use of HBsAg-positive donors is feasible and postoperative antiviral therapy should be managed.
