    Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) is a critical factor in assessing graft function after liver transplantation.

  • 2

    The study aimed to integrate graft-to-recipient weight ratio (GRWR) into the EAD model to enhance predictions of early graft loss.

  • 3

    Data from 331 liver transplant patients were analyzed to develop a modified EAD model (mEAD) for predicting 90-day graft survival.

  • 4

    Two GRWR cut-off values were identified, categorizing patients into low, intermediate, and high GRWR groups for analysis.

  • 5

    The study utilized multivariate logistic regression and ROC analysis to validate the predictive ability of the modified EAD model.
