Cohort study finds latent respiratory virus infection increases perioperative mortality in pediatric liver transplant recipients, indicating the critical role of pre-transplant viral screening.
= 0.002). Latent RV infection (hazard ratio (HR) = 6.323, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.374-29.087), Multi‑drug resistance organism pneumonia (HR = 7.177, 95% CI: 1.817-28.350), infectious shock (HR = 4.284, 95% CI: 0.995-18.442) and blood loss (HR = 3.209, 95% CI: 1.166-8.833) were independent risk factors for peri-operative mortality. In conclusion, pre-transplant viral screening is fundamental to paediatric liver transplantation. Peri-operative Omicron infection might be controllable, while RV infection led to more complications compared with those in the non-infected group. Clinical latency infection is the key risk for paediatric liver transplantation mortality.
