Application of a prognostic score

Application of a prognostic score: The CRECOOLT score, for the prospective cohort, will be systematically calculated once week, or at the occurrence of complications, until 60 days after OLT. The therapeutic management of all patients, during both retrospective and prospective periods, will be established by the attending physicians according with routine practice and not dictated by study protocol.

Study summary

Although CRE infection after OLT have a dramatic impact on patient survival and several implementations have been proposed (i.e. preventive strategies or targeted surgical prophylaxis), a standardized approach in colonized patients is still missing. The investigators recently developed and internally validated a bed-side score to stratify the risk of CRE infection in OLT recipients colonized by CRE. The goal of this pre/post observational study is to investigate the impact on all-cause 90-day mortality in OLT recipients colonized with CRE using such score (CRECOOLT score) for the systematic evaluation of CRE infection risk.

The secondary objectives are:

* To analyse days of therapy with anti-CRE antibiotic regimens in patients with and without systematic evaluation of CRE infection risk, according to clinical practices.
* To evaluate rates of documented CRE infections and their relapses with selection of further resistance in patients with and without systematic evaluation of CRE infection risk.
* To evaluate the length of hospital, ICU stay and rates of hospital readmission in patients with and without systematic evaluation of CRE infection risk.
