Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Introduction of everolimus with reduced cyclosporine or tacrolimus dose, the earliest 1 month and the latest 6 months after liver transplantation.

Experimental: Everolimus based regimen - Conversion at Baseline from an immunosuppressive regimen which contains either cyclosporine (CsA) or tacrolimus (TAC) with or without mycophenolic acid (MPA), with or without corticosteroids in a regimen which contains everolimus combined reduced dose of either cyclosporine (CsA) or tacrolimus (TAC).
The dosing schedule was twice daily, 12 hours apart.


Treatment: Drugs: Introduction of everolimus with reduced cyclosporine or tacrolimus dose, the earliest 1 month and the latest 6 months after liver transplantation.
Immunosuppression after liver transplantation. Pediatric transplant recipients received a starting dose of 0.8 mg/m^2/dose in combination wit Cyclosporine A or 2.0 mg/m^2/dose in combination with tacrolimus, twice-daily. Thereafter, doses were adjusted to achieve everolimus C-0h blood trough level between 3 to 8 ng/ml.
