Although leading to brain death in the end, the initial cause of death of the donor and its potential influences on organ quality are heterogeneous. However, it is still controversial to which extent the donor cause of death is associated with outcome or survival post-HTx.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We included all patients undergoing HTx in our centre between September 2010 and June 2021 (n = 218). Recipients were divided in five groups related to their donor cause of death: intracerebral bleeding (\u2018ICB\u2019, n = 95, 44%), traumatic brain injury (\u2018trauma\u2019, n = 54, 25%), hypoxic brain damage (\u2018hypoxic\u2019, n = 34, 16%), cerebrovascular (\u2018vascular\u2019, n = 15, 7%), or other cause (n = 20, 9%).
