Outcomes of Living Donor Liver Transplantation in Recipients Colonized With Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales.

Background: Pretransplant colonization with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) is associated with poorer post-liver transplantation (LT) outcomes. We aimed to analyze the incidence and risk factors for CRE colonization in adult living-donor LT recipients from January 2019 to September 2022 and its impact on post-LT outcomes.

Methods: Relevant perioperative parameters including bacteremia within one month post LT were recorded.
