A New Routine Immunity Score (RIS2020) to Predict Severe Infection in Solid-Organ Transplant Recipients.

BACKGROUND Infection is a cause of morbidity and mortality in solid-organ transplantation (SOT). We evaluated a new score that is applied during the first month after transplantation. The score comprises biomarkers of innate and acquired immunity to predict infections in SOT.

Liver transplantation in the Intensive Care Unit: twenty years experience in a center medium income on Peru.

Unlabelled: Liver transplantation is the major treatment for end-stage liver disease. Postoperative care is a great challenge to reduce morbidity and mortality in patients. In this sense, management in the liver ICU allows hemodynamic management, coagulation monitoring, renal support, electrolyte disturbances, respiratory support and early weaning from mechanical ventilation and evaluation of the liver graft.

[Impact of COVID-19 on liver disease and the public health in Peru].

The pandemic of COVID-19 (an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV2 virus), declared as such by the WHO, is spreading since its appearance in Wuhan (China) in December 2019, rapidly and unexpectedly throughout the world, causing millions of cases and thousands of deaths and has affected more than 120 countries. It was officially acknowledged in Peru on March 6th, 2020, and has spread rapidly throughout the country, causing first the crisis and then the collapse of the healthcare system, especially emergency care, admissions, and overcrowded intensive care units, not having a specific treatment or the foreseeable possibility of a short-term vaccine. COVID-19 is currently known for being a systemic disease that can affect multiple organs and tissues and can be fatal.
