The patient’s clinical data were extracted from the electronic medical records (EMR), including demographics, infection characteristics, and other clinical variables. We investigated the epidemic of postoperative bacterial infections, clinical specimens, drug resistance, CRKP infection prevalence, and the three-months mortality. The risk factors for 3-months mortality were analyzed, including sex, age, diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTA), pre-operation infection (POI), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver failure (LF), multifocal infection, lung infection, CRKP infection, mechanical ventilation (MV), and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay.
Only the first CRKP infection post LT was included for early CRKP infections. The variables were collected to assess the potential risk factors for CRKP infection, including sex, age, DM, HTA, POI, pre-operation disease (HCC, LF), multifocal infection, lung infection, length of MV, and length of ICU stay.
