Carbapenem-resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> infections after liver transplantation: Drug resistance, risk factors and impact on prognosis
CRKP infections were frequent complications following LT, with poor associated outcomes. Risk factors for post-LT CRKP infections included female sex, significant intraoperative bleeding, elevated alanine aminotransferase levels, and the need for mechanical ventilation. CRKP infections negatively impacted survival and led to prolonged ICU stays.
