Assessment of pathogens and risk factors associated with bloodstream infection in the year after pediatric liver transplantation

Key Points

This study aims to analyze the profile and risk factors associated with bloodstream infections in children after liver transplantation.
Retrospective review of 378 pediatric patients who underwent primary liver transplantation
Primary outcome was bloodstream infection incidence in the first year post-transplant
Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify risk factors and odds ratios.
Bloodstream infection significantly affected survival outcomes in pediatric liver transplant patients
Specific risk factors for bloodstream infection were identified as statistically significant with a p-value of 0.002
The profile of bloodstream infections offers insights for clinical management of high-risk children.
