- The study aimed to analyze the clinical features and outcomes of invasive mold infections (IMI) in patients who received solid organ transplants (SOT) between 2008 and 2016.
- Out of 1,739 transplant recipients, 68 developed IMI, primarily invasive aspergillosis (IA), with a yearly incidence varying based on the organ transplanted, being highest in heart transplants.
- Key findings indicated that the need for vasoactive drugs and positive direct examinations were significant predictors of one-year mortality in patients with IA, highlighting the importance of initial care and fungal load in treatment outcomes.
