Risk factors and outcomes of carbapenem‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in liver transplant recipients
Marcus R. Pereira, Brendan F. Scully, Stephanie M. Pouch, Anne‐Catrin Uhlemann, Stella Goudie, Jean E. Emond, Elizabeth C. Verna – 1 July 2015 – Carbapenem‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infection is increasing in incidence and is associated with increased mortality in liver transplantation (LT) recipients. We performed a retrospective cohort study of all patients transplanted between January 2010 and January 2013 to identify the incidence and risk factors for post‐LT CRKP infection and evaluate the impact of this infection on outcomes in a CRKP‐endemic area.
