title: Effect of HLA-DR/RFLP matching in complicated corneal transplantations.
abstract: Fifty-one elective high-risk transplantations were matched according to HLA/DR antigens and RFLP-subtypes. The 18-month survival of the grafts was 93% in the matched group compared to 50% in a nonmatched-compatible historical control group.
