During 2001–2015, numbers of donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantations (LTs) remained surprisingly low. Post-transplant outcomes improved overall over time, regardless of centre volume. High-volume centres that promoted DCD LT significantly shortened their waiting list time, therefore limiting waiting list mortality and drop-outs.
