Abstract

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are an important threat to the health of solid organ transplant recipients (SOTr); data comparing outcomes of SOTr with CRE to non-SOTr with CRE are lacking. A matched cohort study was performed within 2 prospective, multicenter, cohort studies (Consortium on Resistance Against Carbapenems in Klebsiella and other Enterobacterales and Consortium on Resistance Against Carbapenems in Klebsiella and other Enterobacterales 2). The epidemiology, desirability of outcome rankings outcomes, and mortality of SOTr and non-SOTr hospitalized in the United States (December 2011-August 2017) with clinical isolates with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-defined CRE were compared. In total, 121 SOTr and 242 matched non-SOTr were included. Fifty-one percent of isolates met infection criteria. SOTr were younger (P < .001), less acutely ill (P = .029), less often had a malignancy history (P = .006), and more often were admitted from home (P < .001) than non-SOTr. SOTr had more favorable adjusted desirability of outcome rankings outcomes; a randomly selected SOTr had a 58% (95% confidence interval, 53%-64%) probability of a better outcome as compared to a randomly selected non-SOTr. All-cause 30-day mortality was 14% (17/121) in SOTr vs 25% (60/242) in non-SOTr, P = .018. After stabilized inverse probability weighted adjustment, SOTr had a 7% lower 30-day mortality risk than non-SOTr (95% confidence interval, –15% to 1%). SOTr with CRE do not have worse outcomes than matched patients without transplant history.
