Risk Factors for Surgical-site Infections After Liver Transplant: Does Perioperative Antibiotic Regimen Matter?

Surgical-site infections (SSIs) are common in liver transplant recipients. The optimal SSI antimicrobial prophylaxis agent and duration are not established. We aimed to explore risk factors for SSIs after transplant, with a particular interest in the impact of perioperative antibiotic regimen on the development of SSIs.

Ischemia-reperfusion Injury in Allogeneic Liver Transplantation: A Role of CD4 T Cells in Early Allograft Injury

A major discrepancy between clinical and most experimental settings of liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is the allogenicity.

Use of a Belatacept-based Immunosuppression for Kidney Transplantation From Donors After Circulatory Death: A Paired Kidney Analysis

Efficacy and safety of belatacept have not been specifically reported for kidney transplantations from donors after circulatory death.

Pretransplant Malnutrition, Particularly With Muscle Depletion Is Associated With Adverse Outcomes After Kidney Transplantation

Kidney transplant centers lack consistent diagnostic malnutrition tools. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and American Society of Parenteral Nutrition Adult Malnutrition Criteria (AMC) is the widely accepted and utilized tool by Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) to diagnose malnutrition.

TID - Quality and Safety Survey

TID is launching a survey to develop quality indicators for managing infections in transplantation, aiming to improve patient outcomes. They seek input from centers worldwide to understand their data and mechanisms for handling post-transplant infections. This will enable collaboration with international organizations to create robust indicators. Only one representative per center is needed, preferably with an administrator. Your participation is crucial for advancing the field of Transplant Infectious Disease. Thank you for your contribution!
