Abstract Background Patients colonized with carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are at higher risk of developing CRE infection after liver transplantation (LT) with associated high morbidity and mortality. Prediction model for CRE infection after LT among carriers could be useful to target preventive strategies. Methods Multinational multicenter cohort study of consecutive adult patients underwent LT and colonized with CRE before or after LT, from January 2010 to December 2017. Risk factors for CRE infection were analyzed by univariate analysis and by Fine-Gray sub-distribution hazard model, with death as competing event. A nomogram to predict 30- and 60-day CRE infection risk was created. Results 840 LT recipients found to be colonized with CRE before (n=203) or after (n=637) LT were enrolled. CRE infection was diagnosed in 250 (29.7%) patients within 19 (IQR 9-42) days after LT. Pre-and post-LT colonization, multisite post-LT colonization, prolonged mechanical ventilation, acute renal injury, and surgical re-intervention were retained in the prediction model. Median 30 and 60-day predicted risk was 15% (IQR 11-24%) and 21% (IQR 15-33%), respectively. Discrimination and prediction accuracy for CRE infection was acceptable on derivation (AUC 74.6, Brier index 16.3) and bootstrapped validation dataset (AUC 73.9, Brier index 16.6). Decision-curve analysis suggested net benefit of model-directed intervention over default strategies (treat all, treat none) when CRE infection probability exceeded 10%. The risk prediction model is freely available as mobile application at https://idbologna.shinyapps.io/CREPostOLTPredictionModel/. Conclusions Our clinical prediction tool could enable better targeting interventions for CRE infection after transplant.

Abstract Background To establish a risk prediction model for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) bloodstream infection (BSI) in intestinal carriers. Methods CRE screenings were performed every two weeks in hematology department and intensive care unit (ICU). Patients with positive CRE rectal swab screening were identified using electronic healthcare records from 15 May 2018 to 31 December 2019. All CRE strains were collected and identified. Carriers who developed CRE BSI were compared with those who did not develop CRE infection. The control group 1:1 stratified randomly matched the case group. Univariate logistic analysis, multivariate logistic analysis and stepwise regression analysis were carried out. Results A total of 42 cases were included. Multivariate analysis showed that gastrointestinal injury (OR 86.82, 95%CI 2.58-2916.59, P = 0.013), tigecycline exposure (OR 14.99, 95%CI 1.82-123.74 P = 0.012) and carbapenem resistance score (OR 11.24, 95% CI 1.81–69.70, P = 0.009) were independent risk factors for CRE BSI in intestinal carriers (P < 0.05). They were included in the Logistic regression model to predict BSI. According to receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the cut-off value of the model was 0.72, and the sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve (AUC) were 90.5%, 85.7% and 0.92, respectively. Conclusions The risk prediction model based on gastrointestinal injury, tigecycline exposure and carbapenem resistance score of colonizing strain can effectively predict CRE BSI in patients with CRE colonization. Early CRE screening and detection for inpatients in key departments may early warning and reduce the risk of nosocomial infection of CRE.
