Summary

Despite major advances, infections remain one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Furthermore, data on the epidemiology, severity, and type of post-OLT infections nowadays available come from dated, monocentric, retrospective series. Finally, there is no available data focused on the critical OLT patient admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Therefore this study was conceived (1) to describe incidence, severity, epidemiology and outcomes of infections recorded in OLT patients in the ICU (first or re-admission ); (2) to identify possible risk factors and (3) to report the type of the involved microorganism with their antibiotic sensitivity pattern

Detailed description

The study will record clinical, epidemiological and microbiological data from the clinical files of OLT patients admitted at italian ICUs
