Summary:Background We examined the combined effects of donor age and graft type on pediatric liver transplantation outcomes with an aim to offer insights into the strategic utilization of these donor and graft options. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted using a national database on 0–2‐year‐old (N = 2714) and 3–17‐year‐old (N = 2263) pediatric recipients. These recipients were categorized based on donor age (≥40 vs
