Abstrakt: Background: Lung transplantation is one of the only options for patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated lung injury (CALI). Studies on patients who received a lung transplant for CALI have, to date, not looked at the infectious outcomes.
Methods: After institutional review board approval, a retrospective case-control cohort study, matched 1:1, collected data on patients who underwent lung transplantation for CALI (case) and for non-COVID-19 end-stage lung disease (control) between 1 June 2020 and 1 April 2022 at a large academic hospital in Chicago. We assessed infectious complications and other key outcomes pre-transplant and for 1 year post-transplant.
Results: Among 78 patients (39 CALI and 39 matched control lung transplant patients), those in the CALI cohort were less likely to be vaccinated pre-transplant and were more likely to have diabetes, to be obese, to not be ambulatory, and to require pre-transplant extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and mechanical ventilation. Patients transplanted for CALI had higher rates of infection pre-transplant (66.7% vs 15.4% of patients in the control) and in the first 30 days post-transplant (43.6% vs 20.5%). Numbers and types of infection were similar in both groups at other time points. One-year mortality was similar for CALI and control groups (12.8% vs 10.3%, respectively).
Conclusions: Patients who received a lung transplant for CALI are more deconditioned with prolonged hospital stays and experience more infectious complications immediately pre- and post-transplant. Infections due to multidrug-resistant organisms are important contributors to morbidity and mortality in this population. Antimicrobial stewardship is urgently needed.
