Abstract
Whether pretransplant nonviral infections influence outcomes after transplantation in liver transplant recipients in the current era is not well defined. One hundred consecutive patients undergoing liver transplantation in 2005-2008 were studied. Demographics, posttransplant clinical events, and mortality were compared between recipients with and without infections within 12 months before transplantation. In all, 32% of the patients (32/100) developed 45 episodes of pretransplant infections, which included spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (35.6%), bloodstream infections (28.9%), cellulitis (13.3%), pneumonia (8.9%), urinary tract infections (6.7%), and other infections (6.7%). Compared with 68 recipients without pretransplant infections, those with infections had a higher Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score and a lower likelihood of transplantation from home and required longer and more frequent hospital care before and after transplantation (P < 0.05). Mortality at 90 (9.4% versus 2.9%) and 180 days (15.6% versus 10.3%) post-transplant did not differ significantly between recipients with and without pretransplant infections (P = not significant). A higher Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score (P < 0.05) and posttranspla...Continue Reading
