(1) Background and Aim: Despite excellent long-term results in pediatric liver transplantation (pLTx), mortality and graft loss still are to be diminished. We aim to describe time-dependent changes and long-term outcome of a large single-center pLTx cohort and to identify independent recipient-related risk factors impairing patient and graft survival. (2) Methods: This is a retrospective single-center study analyzing all pediatric liver transplants from 1983-2020. Risk factors for mortality and graft loss were identified by univariable and multi-linear regression analysis. (3) Results: We analyzed 858 liver transplantations in 705 pediatric patients. Five-year patient/graft survival increased from 60.9%/48.0% (1983-1992) to 97.5%/86.5% (OR = 12.5; p < 0.0001/OR = 6.5; p < 0.0001) (2014-2020). Indications changed significantly over time, with a higher proportion of patients being transplanted for malignancies and metabolic disease and indications of PFIC and α1AT-deficiency declining. The era of transplantation (log7.378/9.657; p < 0.0001) and indication of acute liver failure (log = 1.944/2.667; HR = 2.015/1.772; p = 0.0114/0.002) impairs patient/graft survival significantly in the multivariate analysis. Furthermore, patient survival is worsened by re-transplantation (log = 1.755; HR = 1.744; p = 0.0176) and prolonged waiting times in high-urgency status (log = 2.588; HR = 1.073; p = 0.0026), whereas the indication of biliary atresia improved outcome (log = 1.502; HR = 0.575; p = 0.0315). Graft survival was additionally impaired by pre-existing portal vein thrombosis (log = 1.482; HR = 2.016; p = 0.0330). (4) Conclusions: Despite more complex indications, patient and graft survival after pLTx continue to improve.. Acute liver failure remains the indication with poorest outcome, and listing for high urgency liver transplantation should be considered carefully and early to keep waiting time on HU list short. Furthermore, pre-transplant portal vein thrombosis should be prevented whenever possible to improve graft survival.
