Abstract
Background: Bloodstream infection (BSI) after kidney transplantation increases the risk of graft loss and mortality. We aimed to identify contemporary risk factors and outcomes of early BSI (eBSI) at our transplant center.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of adult kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) from 2019 to 2023. Those with the eBSI (within 90 days of KTR) were matched by age and gender to controls. Risk factors were identified using multivariable logistic regression. All KTRs surviving to 90 days, were included in graft and patient survival analysis.
Results: Among 1408 KTRs, 75 (5.3%) developed eBSI, at a median of 21 days (IQR: 12-42.5). On multivariable analysis, each doubling of hospital duration was independently associated with a 49% increase in the risk of eBSI (OR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.19-1.91; p < 0.001), and each doubling of postsurgical drain retention duration was independently associated with a 68% increase in the risk of eBSI (OR: 1.68, 95% CI: 1.17-2.48; p 0.006). eBSI was associated with 1-year mortality (aHR: 3.32, 95% CI: 1.51-7.28; p 0.003) and 3-year graft failure (aHR: 2.78, 95% CI: 1.31-5.93; p 0.008).
Conclusion: eBSI was associated with graft failure and mortality. The donor and recipient factors identified highlight the need for further studies to better characterize their impact on eBSI.
期刊介绍:
Transplant Infectious Disease has been established as a forum for presenting the most current information on the prevention and treatment of infection complicating organ and bone marrow transplantation. The point of view of the journal is that infection and allograft rejection (or graft-versus-host disease) are closely intertwined, and that advances in one area will have immediate consequences on the other. The interaction of the transplant recipient with potential microbial invaders, the impact of immunosuppressive strategies on this interaction, and the effects of cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines liberated during the course of infections, rejection, or graft-versus-host disease are central to the interests and mission of this journal.
Transplant Infectious Disease is aimed at disseminating the latest information relevant to the infectious disease complications of transplantation to clinicians and scientists involved in bone marrow, kidney, liver, heart, lung, intestinal, and pancreatic transplantation. The infectious disease consequences and concerns regarding innovative transplant strategies, from novel immunosuppressive agents to xenotransplantation, are very much a concern of this journal. In addition, this journal feels a particular responsibility to inform primary care practitioners in the community, who increasingly are sharing the responsibility for the care of these patients, of the special considerations regarding the prevention and treatment of infection in transplant recipients. As exemplified by the international editorial board, articles are sought throughout the world that address both general issues and those of a more restricted geographic import.
