A comprehensive evaluation of risk factors for mortality, infection and colonization associated with CRGNB in adult solid organ transplant recipients: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Ann Med 2024; 56:2314236. [PMID: 38442299 PMCID: PMC10916923 DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2024.2314236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The burden of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria (CRGNB) among solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients has not been systematically explored. Here, we discern the risk factors associated with CRGNB infection and colonization in SOT recipients. METHODS This study included observational studies conducted among CRGNB-infected SOT patients, which reported risk factors associated with mortality, infection or colonization. Relevant records will be searched in PubMed, Embase and Web of Science for the period from the time of database construction to 1 March 2023. RESULTS A total of 23 studies with 13,511 participants were included, enabling the assessment of 27 potential risk factors. The pooled prevalence of 1-year mortality among SOT recipients with CRGNB was 44.5%. Prolonged mechanical ventilation, combined transplantation, reoperation and pre-transplantation CRGNB colonization are salient contributors to the occurrence of CRGNB infections in SOT recipients. Renal replacement therapy, post-LT CRGNB colonization, pre-LT liver disease and model for end-stage liver disease score increased the risk of infection. Re-transplantation, carbapenem use before transplantation and ureteral stent utilization increaesd risk of CRGNB colonization. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that SOT recipients with CRGNB infections had a higher mortality risk. Invasive procedure may be the main factor contribute to CRGNB infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) accounts for high antimicrobial resistance and mortality rates of bloodstream infections (BSIs). OBJECTIVES To investigate incidence, antimicrobial resistance and risk factors for mortality of KP BSIs in East China. METHODS A retrospective study of patients with KP BSIs was conducted in a tertiary care hospital from 2018 to 2022. Medical records of all hospitalised patients with KP BSIs were reviewed and analysed. The incidence, antimicrobial resistance and mortality of KP BSIs were evaluated. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves and logistic regression was used to analyse risk factors for crude 30-day mortality. RESULTS A total of 379 inpatients with KP BSIs were enrolled. The incidence of patients with KP BSIs was fluctuating between 4.77 and 9.40 per 100,000 patient-days. The crude 30-day mortality rate of these patients was 26.39%. Of the 379 KPisolates, 197 (51.98%) were carbapenem-resistant (CR) and 252 (66.49%) were multidrug-resistant (MDR). All isolates showed the lowest resistance to tigecycline (13.77%) and polymyxin B (14.61%). Cases with MDR/CR isolates had significantly longer length of hospital stay, higher crude 30-day mortality and medical costs than non-MDR/non-CR isolates. Age, CR phenotype, paracentesis, indwelling central venous catheter (CVC), use of carbapenems, tetracyclines, polymyxins B, and irrational empiric treatment were independently associated with crude 30-day mortality. CONCLUSION MDR/CR KP BSIs are associated with increased mortality, healthcare costs and prolonged hospitalisation. Patients with advanced age, CR phenotype, paracentesis, CVC, exposure to some antibiotics, and irrational empirical antibiotic treatment are at higher mortality risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver transplantation (LT) is the only curative treatment for end-stage liver disease. However, LT recipients are susceptible to infection, which is the leading cause of early mortality after LT. Klebsiella pneumoniae infections (KPIs) in the bloodstream are common in LT recipients. We hypothesized that KPIs and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infections may affect the outcomes of LT recipients. AIM To assess KPI incidence, timing, distribution, drug resistance, and risk factors following LT and its association with outcomes. METHODS This retrospective study included 406 patients undergoing LT at The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, a tertiary hospital, from January 2015 to January 2023. We investigated the risk factors for KPIs and assessed the impact of KPIs and CRKP infections on the prognosis of LT recipients using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS KPI incidence was 7.9% (n = 32), with lung/thoracic cavity the most frequent site of infection; the median time from LT to KPI onset was 7.5 d. Of 44 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates, 43 (97.7%) and 34 (77.3%) were susceptible to polymyxin B or ceftazidime/avibactam and tigecycline, respectively; > 70% were resistant to piperacillin/ tazobactam, ceftazidime, cefepime, aztreonam, meropenem, and levofloxacin. Female sex [odds ratio (OR) = 2.827, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.256-6.364; P = 0.012], pre-LT diabetes (OR = 2.794, 95%CI: 1.070-7.294; P = 0.036), day 1 post-LT alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels ≥ 1500 U/L (OR = 3.645, 95%CI: 1.671-7.950; P = 0.001), and post-LT urethral catheter duration over 4 d (OR = 2.266, 95%CI: 1.016-5.054; P = 0.046) were risk factors for KPI. CRKP infections, but not KPIs, were risk factors for 6-month all-cause mortality post-LT. CONCLUSION KPIs occur frequently and rapidly after LT. Risk factors include female sex, pre-LT diabetes, increased post-LT ALT levels, and urethral catheter duration. CRKP infections, and not KPIs, affect mortality.

Abstract
Background: Post-operative infection remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in adults early after liver transplantation (LT). Procalcitonin (PCT) may be a good test method for early diagnosis of post-operative infection and determining its severity. This study was performed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of PCT as a biomarker for infection after LT. Patients and Methods: A meta-analysis and systematic review was conducted for studies reporting diagnostic performance of PCT for infection in adults after LT. Observational studies were evaluated for their reporting of diagnostic accuracy, relevance, and quality. Results: Ten eligible studies assessing 730 patients were included in this meta-analysis and systematic review summarizing the diagnostic value of PCT for post-operative infection in adult liver transplantation. Pooled sensitivity and specificity with corresponding 95% confidence interval were 69% (95% confidence interval [CI], 54-81; heterogeneity I2 = 82.4%) and 88% (95% CI, 82-92; I2 = 52.7%), respectively. The diagnostic odd ratio (DOR) was 16 (95% CI, 10-25; I2 = 76.4%). The summary receiver operator characteristic (SROC) of PCT for post-operative infection was 0.88. There was a wide range of variability in the cutoff values, ranging from 0.22 to 42.80 ng/mL. Heterogeneity was reduced by excluding studies that focused on pediatric LT recipients. Conclusions: Procalcitonin is a moderately accurate diagnostic marker for post-operative infection in adult LT. Additionally, the diagnostic performance can be improved by combining it with other inflammatory biomarkers. This article provides the research direction for post-operative infection control.

Abstract
Background Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infection remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in early-stage post-liver transplantation (LT). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the demographic and clinical infections characteristics of all LT recipients in our hospital between January 2019 and December 2021. Results Among the 272 LT recipients who received LT between January 2019 and December 2021, sixty-two patients had at least one infection within 3-months post-LT, with a prevalence of 22.8% (62/272). The prevalence of CRKP infections was 7.0% (19/272), and the 3-months post-LT mortality was 19.4% (12/62). The risk factors independently related to 3-months mortality were age (Odds ratio (OR)= 1.126, 95% Confidence interval (CI): 1.009~1.257; P=0.034), mechanical ventilation (MV) (OR=1.206, 95% CI: 1.039~1.401; P =0.014), and CRKP infection (OR=18.240, 95% CI: 2.206~150.842; P =0.007). In CRKP infection, the length of ICU stay (OR=1.067, 95% CI: 1.015~1.122; P=0.011), pre-operation infection (POI) (OR=6.733, 95% CI: 1.160~39.088; P=0.034), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (OR=26.772, 95% CI: 1.747~410.187; P=0.018) were the independent risk factors. With COX multivariate regression analysis, the 3-months survival rate of CRKP infected patients was significantly lower than that without CRKP infection post-LT. Conclusions CRKP infection is closely correlated with poor prognosis in 3-months post-LT.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Only a few studies about polymyxin B (PMB) against multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria (MDR GNB) infection were conducted in liver transplantation recipients (LTRs). The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of PMB in the treatment of MDR-GNB in liver transplant recipients and to determine the risk factors affecting clinical cure and 30-day all-cause mortality. METHODS Data of LTRs receiving PMB from January 2016 to February 2020 were collected. Clinical cure and 30-day all-cause mortality were the main efficacy outcomes, while the incidence of nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and hyperpigmentation of PMB was the main safety outcome. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Data of 42 LTRs were included. Clinical cure with PMB was observed in 27 recipients (64.3%), and the 30-day all-cause mortality rate was 31.0% (13/42). The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI), neurotoxicity, and hyperpigmentation was 57.1% (16/28), 4.8% (2/42), and 16.7% (7/42), respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score (OR, 1.203; 95% CI, 1.016-1.423, p = 0.032) was an independent risk factor for 30-day all-cause mortality, whereas renal replacement therapy (OR, 0.128; 95% CI, 0.019-0.860, p = 0.034) was an independent risk factor for clinical cure with PMB. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to evaluate the application of PMB in LTRs. If there were no better therapeutic options left for LTRs other than PMB, it can be used against MDR GNB infection in LTRs. We should closely observe adverse events or reactions, and adjust the dose based on the balance of efficacy and safety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infections remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. This study aimed to investigate the preservation fluid (PF) samples from deceased donors and report the impacts of possible donor-derived carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (pdd-CRKP) infections on KT recipients. METHODS A retrospective study was performed that included all recipients who received kidney transplantation from deceased donors in our hospital between December 2018 and December 2020. A total of 212 patients received kidney transplantation from deceased donors, a total of 206 PF samples were collected, and 20 recipients had a CRKP-positive culture. Both donors and recipients with CRKP-positive PF cultures were divided into two groups, and continuous variables between the two groups were compared using independent-sample t tests and Mann-Whitney tests. Categorical variables were compared using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. The significance level of p values was set at 0.05. RESULTS A total of 337 recipients underwent kidney transplantation, including 212 recipients of organs from deceased donors and 110 corresponding deceased donors. A total of 206 PF samples were collected, and 20 recipients had CRKP-positive PF cultures. The donors' length of ICU stay was a potential risk factor for CRKP positivity in the PF culture (P < 0.05). Fifteen recipients were infected with pdd-CRKP, and the incidence of pdd-CRKP infection was 7.3% (15/206). The use of antibiotics, including ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI), was a potential protective factor against death and graft loss in recipients with a CRKP-positive PF culture (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that the incidence of pdd-CRKP is high in our centre, recipients with pdd-CRKP infection can still achieve a good prognosis with the use of antimicrobial agents including CAZ-AVI.

Abstract
Background: Ceftazidime/avibactam is a new cephalosporin/beta-lactamase inhibitor combination approved in 2015 by the FDA for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal and urinary tract infection, hospital-acquired pneumoniae and Gram-negative infections with limited treatment options. Methods: In this retrospective study, we evaluate the efficacy of ceftazidime/avibactam treatment in 81 patients with Gram-negative infection treated in our center from January 2018 to December 2019. The outcome evaluated was 30-days survival or relapse of infection after the first positive blood culture. Results: the majority of patients were 56 male (69%), with median age of 67. Charlson’s Comorbidity Index was >3 in 58 patients. In total, 46% of the patients were admitted into the medical unit, 41% in the ICU, and 14% in the surgical ward. Of the patients, 78% had nosocomial infections, and 22% had healthcare-related infections. The clinical failure rate was 35%: 13 patients died within 30 days from the onset of infection. The outcome was influenced by the clinical condition of the patients: solid organ transplantation (p = 0.003) emerged as an independent predictor of mortality; non-survival patients most frequently had pneumonia (p = 0.009) or mechanical ventilation (p = 0.049). Conclusion: Ceftazidime−avibactam showed high efficacy in infections caused by MDR Gram-negative pathogens with limited therapeutic options.

Ceftazidime-Avibactam as Salvage Treatment for Infections Due to Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Liver Transplantation Recipients. Infect Drug Resist 2022; 14:5603-5612. [PMID: 34992387 PMCID: PMC8710070 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s342163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2021] [Accepted: 12/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) has been approved in vitro activity against carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP), but the experience for the treatment of CRKP in liver transplantation (LT) recipients was limited, and previous data on its efficacy in this setting are lacking. Methods LT recipients with CRKP infection who received CZA treatment were reviewed retrospectively, microbiological and clinical response, adverse events were also assessed. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality after CZA administration. Results CZA was used in 21 LT recipients (including 4 pediatric patients) with CRKP infections after failure with other antimicrobials. CZA was administered as monotherapy in 4 patients. Median time from the onset of CRKP infection until the initiation of CZA treatment was 2 days (IQR, 1–6.5), and the median treatment duration was 12 days (IQR, 8.5–18.5). The mortality at 14 days, 30 days and all-cause was 28.6%, 38.1% and 42.9%, respectively. In adult patients, clinical response of 14 days and 30 days was 70.6% (12/17) and 58.8% (10/17), respectively, while in pediatric patients the 14-day and 30-day clinical response were both 75%, respectively. The relapse rate during the treatment developed in 3 patients after 30 days with the cessation of CZA monotherapy. CZA resistance was not detected in any case and 3 (3/21, 14.3%) patients developed acute kidney injury related to uncontrolled infection. Conclusion CZA shows promising results, even in monotherapy, for the treatment of patients with severe infections due to carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae among LT recipients. The emergence of resistance to CZA was not observed.

Analysis of Risk Factors for Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection and Its Effect on the Outcome of Early Infection After Kidney Transplantation. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2021; 11:726282. [PMID: 34692560 PMCID: PMC8535439 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2021.726282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Infections remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. This study was performed to identify the overall prevalence of early infections, prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infection after KT, one-year postoperative mortality in patients with early infections and risk factors for CRKP infections. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of all patients who received KT in our hospital between January 2017 and December 2019. We evaluated the demographic, clinical, infection characteristics and the one-year postoperative outcomes. Results Among the 419 patients who received KT between January 2017 and December 2019, 150 patients had at least one infection within 90 days after KT. The total prevalence of early infections was 36.1% (150/415), the prevalence of early CRKP infections was 10.4% (43/415), and the one-year postoperative mortality was 15.3% (23/150) in patients with early infections. The risk factors independently related to one-year postoperative mortality were mechanical ventilation (MV) > 48 h (Odds ratio (OR)= 13.879, 95%Confidence interval (CI): 2.265~85.035; P=0.004) and CRKP infection (OR=6.751, 95% CI: 1.051~43.369; P =0.044). MV> 48 h was independently related to CRKP infection (OR=3.719, 95% CI: 1.024~13.504; P=0.046). Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that the one-year survival rate of patients infected with CRKP in the early postoperative stage was significantly lower than that of uninfected patients. Conclusions In general, the prevalence of early infections after KT is high, and CRKP infection is closely correlated with poor prognosis. The effective prevention and treatment of CRKP infection is an important way to improve the one-year survival rate after KT.

Abstract
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are a serious public health concern and represent a major threat to immunocompromised hosts, including solid organ (SOT) and stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Transplant patients are at particular risk of developing CPE colonization and/or infection due to their frequent exposure to prolonged courses of broad-spectrum antibiotics, altered immunocompetence and exposure to invasive procedures and immunosuppressive drugs. Gut colonization with CPE, in particular carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, may occur before or after SOT in 2%-27% of patients and among 2%-9% of HSCT and has been associated with increased risk of developing CPE infections. In endemic areas, CPE infections occur in up to 18% of SOT, and HSCT patients can account for 5%-18% of all patients with CPE bacteraemia. Mortality rates up to 70% have been associated with CPE infections in both patient populations. The rapid initiation of an active therapy against CPE is advocated in these infections. Therapeutic options, however, are limited by the paucity of novel compounds that are currently available and by potential antibiotic-associated toxicities. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach involving infection control and antimicrobial stewardship programmes still represents the mainstay for the management of CPE infections among transplant patients. The evidence for the use of prevention strategies such as CPE-targeted perioperative prophylaxis or gut decolonization is still scarce. Large, multicentre trials are required to better define prevention strategies and to guide the management of CPE infections in the transplant setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients colonized with carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are at higher risk of developing CRE infection after liver transplantation (LT) with associated high morbidity and mortality. Prediction model for CRE infection after LT among carriers could be useful to target preventive strategies. METHODS Multinational multicenter cohort study of consecutive adult patients underwent LT and colonized with CRE before or after LT, from January 2010 to December 2017. Risk factors for CRE infection were analyzed by univariate analysis and by Fine-Gray sub-distribution hazard model, with death as competing event. A nomogram to predict 30- and 60-day CRE infection risk was created. RESULTS 840 LT recipients found to be colonized with CRE before (n=203) or after (n=637) LT were enrolled. CRE infection was diagnosed in 250 (29.7%) patients within 19 (IQR 9-42) days after LT. Pre-and post-LT colonization, multisite post-LT colonization, prolonged mechanical ventilation, acute renal injury, and surgical re-intervention were retained in the prediction model. Median 30 and 60-day predicted risk was 15% (IQR 11-24%) and 21% (IQR 15-33%), respectively. Discrimination and prediction accuracy for CRE infection was acceptable on derivation (AUC 74.6, Brier index 16.3) and bootstrapped validation dataset (AUC 73.9, Brier index 16.6). Decision-curve analysis suggested net benefit of model-directed intervention over default strategies (treat all, treat none) when CRE infection probability exceeded 10%. The risk prediction model is freely available as mobile application at https://idbologna.shinyapps.io/CREPostOLTPredictionModel/. CONCLUSIONS Our clinical prediction tool could enable better targeting interventions for CRE infection after transplant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) has become a major problem among nosocomial infections, and it is a serious threat to patients. The clinical characteristics and outcome of CRKP bloodstream infection (BSI) in nontransplant patients remains unelucidated. The aim of this study was as follows: identify the risk factors of CRKP infection; generate new ideas for prevention; and generate new ideas for the most effective therapeutic management in nontransplant patients. METHODS The study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and microbiological data of nontransplant patients with K pneumoniae (KP) bacteremia from January 2013 to December 2015 to identify risk factors, clinical features, and outcomes using multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Of the 371 patients with KP-BSI in nontransplant patients included in this study, 28.0% (N = 104) had CRKP. The 28-day mortality was higher in patients infected with CRKP (55.8%) than in those with carbapenem-susceptible KP (13.9%) (P < .001). Multivariate analysis showed previous gastric catheterization, previous use of carbapenems, hypoproteinemia, and high Acute Physiologic Assessment and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores as independent risk factors for CRKP-BSIs. Carbapenem-resistant KP infection, severe illness, and tigecycline therapy were independent risk factors for death from KP-BSIs. Taken together, inappropriate antibiotic treatment both in empirical and definitive therapy and imipenem minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of >8 mg/L were associated with poor clinical outcome. CONCLUSIONS Nontransplant patients with CRKP-BSI had higher mortality. Carbapenems exposure was an independent risk factor for CRKP infection. Imipenem MICs of >8 mg/L, tigecycline therapy, and inappropriate treatments increased the 28-day mortality of KP-BSI patients.

Abstract
Background Infections, especially bacterial and fungal infections, are the leading cause of high mortality after liver transplantation (LT). This research investigated the pathogenic spectrum, antimicrobial susceptibility results, and risk factors of infection and death with infection to better control such infections. Material/Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed, and 433 liver transplant recipients between January 2010 and December 2016 were analyzed. Results We found 290 isolates of bacteria and fungi in 170 infected liver transplant patients. Significant independent risk factors for bacterial and fungal infections were prolonged hospital stay (OR 1.034, 95% CI 1.013~1.056, p=0.002), mechanical ventilation (OR 3.806, 95% CI 1.567~9.248, p=0.003), and liver failure (OR 2.659, 95% CI 1.019~6.940, p=0.046). Furthermore, postoperative MELD scores (OR 1.120, 95% CI 1.020~1.230, p=0.017) and septic shock (OR 12.000, 95% CI 1.124~128.066, p=0.003) were independent risk factors for death with infection. CRAB infection is the main pathogenic bacteria of septic shock in LT patients. Conclusions We found that 39.3% of recipients had at least 1 bacterial or fungal infection after LT. Shortening the length of hospital stay and early withdrawal of mechanical ventilation will reduce the risk of infection after LT. Patients with liver failure should be more vigilant against postoperative infection. Once an infection occurs, immediate assessment of the postoperative MELD score, early diagnosis of septic shock, and active search for pathogenic evidence for precise treatment will help improve patient prognosis. Routine screening for CRAB colonization before surgery will facilitate empirical use of effective antibiotics.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are a critical healthcare threat. Infections caused by CRE disproportionately affect transplant patients. Retrospective case studies suggest that up to 10% of transplant recipients develop a CRE infection. The current literature is reviewed with a particular focus on transplant-specific implications. RECENT FINDINGS There are specific risks inherent to transplant recipients that result in an elevated risk for CRE carriage and subsequent infection. Additionally, the manifestations of these infections are dependent on the specific transplant type. The optimal treatment of CRE infections in transplant recipients has not been defined. SUMMARY A reduction in the regional community CRE burden can lead to a secondary reduction in their occurrence within vulnerable transplant populations. Therefore, core principles of antibiotic stewardship and infection control within all levels of the healthcare system remains the most effective strategy for addressing the current health crisis. Simultaneously, an integrated approach to risk stratification and an approach to treatment is postulated for management of CRE infection within the solid-organ transplant population.

Applicability of common inflammatory markers in diagnosing infections in early period after liver transplantation in intensive care setting. Sci Rep 2020; 10:3918. [PMID: 32127631 PMCID: PMC7054413 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-60936-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2019] [Accepted: 02/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Infections remain an important cause of morbidity and mortality early after liver transplantation. The aim of this prospective longitudinal study was to evaluate clinical utility of c-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in surveillance of infections early after liver transplantation in intensive care setting. A total of 60 liver transplant recipients were included. CRP, procalcitonin, and NLR assessed at 12-hour intervals were primary variables of interest. Infections and severe complications during postoperative intensive care unit stay were the primary and secondary end-points, respectively. Infections and severe complications were diagnosed in 9 and 17 patients, respectively. Only peak CRP beyond first 48 hours was associated with infections (p = 0.038) with AUC, positive and negative predictive value of 0.728, 42.9% and 92.2%, respectively (cut-off: 142.7 mg/L). Peak procalcitonin over first 60 hours was the earliest predictor (p = 0.050) of severe complications with AUC, positive and negative predictive value of 0.640, 53.3% and 80.0%, respectively (cut-off: 42.8 ng/mL). In conclusion, while CRP, procalcitonin, and NLR cannot be used for accurate diagnosis of infections immediately after liver transplantation, peak CRP beyond 48 hours and peak procalcitonin over first 60 hours may be used for initial exclusion of infections and prediction of severe complications, respectively.

Abstract
RATIONALE Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia (CRKP) infections have been a concerning threat, especially in organ transplant patients with very high mortality. Allograft hemorrhage associated with CRKP infection has never been described. PATIENT CONCERNS A total of 6 recipients tested positive for CRKP were identified in 297 adult kidney transplant recipients who received kidney from donors according to Chinese type donation after cardiac death (DCD) at our center between January 2006 and December 2017. DIAGNOSES CRKP identification was performed via Vitek 2 system, and the susceptibility was tested by broth microdilution and disk diffusion. Based on the signs of infection and the positive culture, the diagnosis of CRKP infection was established. INTERVENTIONS Therapy with antibiotic such as including ceftazidime-avibactam or tigecycline and surgical control of primary infection source including allograft nephrectomy and/or thorough debridement was administrated. OUTCOMES The most striking aspect was that spontaneous recurrent hemorrhage occurred in all the 6 patients. The mortality of CRKP infection in our study was 50%. LESSONS CRKP infection possibly due to donor-to-recipient transmission in DCD kidney transplants was essentially a necrotic hemorrhagic inflammation and characterized by recurrent hemorrhage and high mortality. The pre-donation screening for CRKP colonization should be mandatory and, if positive, donation should be contraindicated. And, the effective infection source control such as allograft nephrectomy and/or thorough debridement was important to improve outcomes. Further investigation will be required to further characterize the clinical efficacy of new pharmacotherapeutic schemes including ceftazidime-avibactam.

Abstract
Treatment of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales bloodstream infections in solid organ transplant recipients is challenging. The objective of this study was to develop a specific score to predict mortality in solid organ transplant recipients with carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales bloodstream infections. A multinational, retrospective (2004-2016) cohort study (INCREMENT-SOT, ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02852902) was performed. The main outcome variable was 30-day all-cause mortality. The INCREMENT-SOT-CPE score was developed using logistic regression. The global cohort included 216 patients. The final logistic regression model included the following variables: INCREMENT-CPE mortality score ≥8 (8 points), no source control (3 points), inappropriate empirical therapy (2 points), cytomegalovirus disease (7 points), lymphopenia (4 points), and the interaction between INCREMENT-CPE score ≥8 and CMV disease (minus 7 points). This score showed an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.76-0.88) and classified patients into 3 strata: 0-7 (low mortality), 8-11 (high mortality), and 12-17 (very-high mortality). We performed a stratified analysis of the effect of monotherapy vs combination therapy among 165 patients who received appropriate therapy. Monotherapy was associated with higher mortality only in the very-high (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 2.82, 95% CI 1.13-7.06, P = .03) and high (HR 9.93, 95% CI 2.08-47.40, P = .004) mortality risk strata. A score-based algorithm is provided for therapy guidance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) has emerged in health care facilities around the world. Several studies demonstrated data regarding clinical outcomes for CRE infections including death. This systematic review and meta-analysis summarized literature discussing association between CRE and mortality. METHODS A systematic literature review was performed by searching EMBASE, International Pharmaceutical Abstract databases, PubMed, and Scopus and to identify studies that assessed the association between CRE and death published from April 2012 to October 2017. A meta-analysis was performed using a random effect model. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2-statistic. RESULTS Twenty-one studies were included in this meta-analysis. The underlying populations were moderately heterogeneous (I2 = 60%; P = .01). Pooled risk estimates from 9 studies revealed a significant association between CRE and death (pooled-adjusted odds ratio: 2.85; 95% confidence interval: 1.88, 4.30). The unadjusted variable pooled from 18 studies demonstrated a significant association between CRE and death (pooled-unadjusted odds ratio: 3.73; 95% confidence interval: 2.02, 6.88). DISCUSSION The finding that CRE infection was positively associated with death agreed with the previous meta-analysis of studies published before April 2012. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis found that CRE was associated with increased risk of death. Our analysis implies a need for strict infection control measures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The importance of preoperative donor/recipient colonization or donor infection by extensively drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (XDR-GNB) and its relation to serious post-transplantation infection pathogenicity in liver transplantation (LT) patients has not been clarified. AIM Prevention of postoperative infection due to XDR-GNB with the appropriate perioperative chemoprophylaxis or treatment based on preoperative donor/recipient surveillance cultures in LT patients, as well as their outcome. MATERIALS AND METHOD Twenty-six patients (20 male, 6 female) were studied (average preoperative Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score ≈15, range: 8-29) from January 2017 to January 2018. In all patients, blood, urine, and bronchial secretions culture samples as well as a rectal colonization culture were taken pre- and postoperatively, once weekly after LT, and after intensive care unit discharge. Recipients with positive XDR-GNB colonization and patients receiving a transplant from a donor with an XDR-GNB positive culture or colonization received the appropriate chemoprophylaxis one half hour preoperatively according to culture results. De-escalation of the antibiotic regimen was done in 2 to 5 days based on the colonization/culture results of the donor and recipient and their clinical condition. Evaluation for serious infection was done at 1 week and at 28 days for outcome results. RESULTS Fourteen out of 26 recipients (53.8%) were positive for XDR-GNB colonization preoperative, with 2/14 (14.28%) presenting serious infection due to the same pathogen. Intensive care unit length of stay was significantly longer in colonized with XDR-GNB patients (P < .0001). The outcome of colonized patients was 6/14 (42.8%) expired, but only in 2/14 (14.2%) was mortality attributable to infection. CONCLUSION Administering appropriate perioperative chemoprophylaxis and treatment may limit the frequency of XDR-GNB infections and intensive care unit length of stay and may improve the outcome in LT recipients.

Abstract
Liver transplantation has become an important treatment modality for patients with end-stage liver disease/cirrhosis, acute liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Although surgical techniques and immunosuppressive regimens for liver transplantation have improved significantly over the past 20 years, infectious complications continue to contribute to the morbidity and mortality in this patient population. The use of standardized screening protocols for both donors and recipients, coupled with targeted prophylaxis against specific pathogens, has helped to mitigate the risk of infection in liver transplant recipients. Patients with chronic liver disease and cirrhosis have immunological deficits that place them at increased risk for infection while awaiting liver transplantation. The patient undergoing liver transplantation is prone to develop healthcare-acquired infections due to multidrug-resistant organisms that could potentially affect patient outcomes after transplantation. The complex nature of liver transplant surgery that involves multiple vascular and hepatobiliary anastomoses further increases the risk of infection after liver transplantation. During the early post-transplantation period, healthcare-acquired bacterial and fungal infections are the most common types of infection encountered in liver transplant recipients. The period of maximal immunosuppression that occurs at 1–6 months after transplantation can be complicated by opportunistic infections due to both primary infection and reactivation of latent infection. Severe community-acquired infections can complicate the course of liver transplantation beyond 12 months after transplant surgery. This chapter provides an overview of liver transplantation including indications, donor-recipient selection criteria, surgical procedures, and immunosuppressive therapies. A focus on infections in patients with chronic liver disease/cirrhosis and an overview of the specific infectious complications in liver transplant recipients are presented.

Abstract
Infections are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in liver transplant (LT) recipients. We studied timeline, spectrum of infection, system involved, and antimicrobial resistance in 64 patients undergoing live donor LT with 6-month follow-up. Of 64 patients, 38 (59.5%) patients had 103 infectious episodes, 10 patients had single infectious episode and 28 patients had two or more infectious episodes. 96 (93.2%) were bacterial and Candida infections were in 7 (6.8%). Early phase had 30 (29.1%) episodes; intermediate phase 25 (24.2%) and late phase 48 (46.6%). Mortality was 11/64 (17.1%). Knowledge of timeline, aetiological agent and antimicrobial resistance is useful to guide empirical therapy and infection prevention.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to define in a cohort of 310 liver transplant recipients, the incidence of post-liver transplantation (LT) non-carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) and CRKP infections, pre- and post-LT CRKP colonization, CRKP-associated mortality, and risk factors for non-CRKP and CRKP infections. Every patient was screened for CRKP immediately before and after LT. The 6-month survival rate was 95%. Fifty-two patients became infected (16.5%): 8 by CRKP (2.5%) and 44 (14%) by a non-CRKP micro-organism. Median onset of CRKP infections occurred at postoperative (POD) 12 (range, 4-70). CRKP colonization occurred in 20 patients (6%): 10 before LT (3 infected and died) and 10 after (5 infected, 3 died). CRKP- versus non-CRKP-infected patients had higher rates of intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital mortality (50% vs 20% and 62.5% vs 36%; P ≤ .001), septic shock (87% vs 34%; P = .0057; confidence interval [CI], 9.8-71.5), prolonged mechanical ventilation (100% vs 64%; P = .043, CI, 3.5-51.9), and renal replacement therapy (87% vs 41%; P = .0177; CI, 2.8-65). The small number of CRKP-infected patients did not allow the definition of specific risk factors for CRKP infection. At univariate analysis, pre- and post-LT colonization (odds ratio [OR], 10.76; CI, 2.6-44; OR, 14.99; CI, 3.83-58.66, respectively), relaparotomy (OR, 9.09; CI, 4.01-20.6), retransplantation (OR, 7.45; CI, 3.45-16), bile leakage (OR, 61.28; CI, 9.23-80), and early allograft dysfunction (EAD; OR, 5.7; CI, 3-10.7) were significantly associated with infections, making CRKP colonization (any time) and post-LT surgical and medical complications critical factors for post-LT CRKP infections.
