Objective To investigate the value of real-time tissue elastography (RTE) in evaluating donor liver quality and postoperative early allograft dysfunction (EAD) in liver transplantation patients. Methods A total of 58 patients who received liver transplantation in Organ Transplantation Center of our hospital from October 2020 to January 2022 were enrolled, and according to the recovery of liver function in the early stage after surgery, the patients were divided into EAD group and non-EAD group. The two groups were compared in terms of the indicators such as the routine ultrasound examination and RTE measurement of donor liver before liver transplantation, liver function and coagulation function of recipients before and after liver transplantation, and preoperative Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score. The logistic regression analysis was performed for the indicators with significant differences, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to calculate the area under the ROC cur
