Abstract:

Objective To identify the incidence and risk factors of postoperative multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in liver transplant patients.Methods A systematic search of the literatures was conducted in the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Embase, Web of science, Pubmed, SinoMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and CQVIP up to July 2023. Stata16.0 and RevMan5.4 software were used to perform meta-analysis.Results A total of 13 articles representing 5,877 patients were included, and 40 risk factors were extracted. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the combined incidence of postoperative multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in liver transplant patients was 18%, with an incidence ranging from 3% to 48%. The main risk factors included pre-transplant ICU admission (OR=3.71, 95%CI: 2.52-5.46), colonization rate of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) before liver transplant (OR=10.73, 95%CI: 3.79-30.37), the model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score (OR=5.85, 95%CI: 0.68-11.2), length of post-transplant ICU stay (OR=4.34,95%CI: 2.84-5.84), post-transplant dialysis (OR=2.61, 95%CI: 1.60-4.25), reoperation (OR=4.22, 95%CI: 2.07-8.63), prolonged prothrombin time (OR=1.01, 95%CI: 0.30-1.54), and biliary complications (OR=3.52, 95%CI: 1.98-6.23).Conclusion The incidence of postoperative multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in liver transplantation patients is high. There are many risk factors to be concerned to reduce the incidence of postoperative multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in liver transplantation patients, thus improving the survival.
