Cybele Lara R. Abad, Brian D. Lahr, Raymund R. Razonable – 8 February 2017 – The epidemiology of infections after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is limited. We aimed to study the epidemiology and risk factors of infections after LDLT. The medical records of 223 adult patients who underwent LDLT from January 1, 2000 to August 31, 2015 were reviewed for all infections occurring up to 1 year. We estimated the cumulative incidence of infection using the Kaplan‐Meier product limit method. Risk factors were analyzed with time‐dependent Cox regression modeling.
