Abstract:

Objective To determine the independent risk factors for infection in 30 days after adult living donor liver transplantation of our organ transplant center. Methods A retrospective survey was held in 143 liver transplant recipients in April 2008 to January 2014 in our hospital. Postoperative infection occured within 30 dayswere considered as infection group（n ＝ 27），with uninfected patients as control group（n ＝ 116）.The possible risk factors reported in literature were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis in two groups to determine the independent risk factors for early infection. Results Massive blood loss in operation（OR ＝ 1.000，95%CI ＝ 1.000 ～ 1.001），ICU stay time after operation（OR ＝ 1.702，95%CI ＝ 1.025～2.828），prolonged parenteral nutrition（OR ＝ 1.319，95%CI ＝ 1.070 ～ 1.625）were the independent risk factors for infection in 30days after adult living donor livertransplantation of our organ transplant center. Conclusion In order to reduce the incidence of early postoperative infection in patients with living donor livertransplantation，medical personnel should reduce blood loss during the operation，shorten the postoperative ICU stay time and the parenteral nutrition time.
