Despite significant advances in persistent mechanical support survival, infection complications remain the most common adverse event after vascillary assist device (VAD) implantation and the main cause of early post-transplant death.
in this study, we aim to describe local infectious disease epidemiology, review short-term survival rates and infection rates in post-transplant periods, and assess risk factors for post-transplant infection events.
a retrospective single-center study of all consecutive adult heart transplant patients from 2008 to 2017.
use the Kaplan-Meier method to evaluate and summarize survival data.
we used the Fine-Gray model to quantify and assess differences in morbidity between patients with or without infection.
is the timing of the first infection diagnosis with post-transplant death as a competitive event.
results showed that 74 (26.5%) of the 278 heart transplant patients received LVAD implants.
21 patients (28.3%) developed infection with the support of LVAD.
BMI was significantly higher than in patients without LVAD support from previous infections (31.2 vs 27.8 kg/m2, P s .03).
after transplantation, the medium follow-up time was 3.01 years.
Important risk factors for a decline in competitive risk of post-cardiac transplant infection include LVAD infection (HR 1.94, s95%CI) 1.11-3 when adjusting the recipient's age, gender, hypertension, diabetes and body mass index .39, P s .020) and recipient COPD (HR 2.14, s95%CI) 1.39-3.32, P s 0.001).
, the results showed a significant increase in the risk of infection complications in patients with LVAD-related infections after heart transplantation.
further research on avoiding inducing agents and reducing maintenance immunosuppression is necessary in this patient population.
