ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Since the largest study on extensively drug-resistant organisms and lung transplantation in patients with cystic fibrosis, there have been innovations and advancements in the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. RESEARCH QUESTION What differences exist for patients with cystic fibrosis with a history of extensively drug-resistant infections who undergo lung transplantation despite treatment advances with antimicrobial therapy? STUDYDESIGN:
Two-center, retrospective, cohort study conducted in 44 patients with cystic fibrosis chronically infected with extensively drug-resistant organisms who received a lung transplant from January 2008 through August 2016. Patients in the resistant cohort were chronically infected with pan-resistant P aeruginosa, polymyxin-sensitive only, or sensitive to 2 antibiotic classes (polymyxin plus one other); remaining patients with more susceptible P aeruginosa or no P aeruginosa remained in the control cohort. The primary outcome is a composite of patient survival, retransplantation, chronic lung allograft dysfunction, and acute rejection 12 months posttransplant. Categorical variables were analyzed using χ2 testing. The independent samples t test was utilized for continuous variables.RESULTS:
There was no difference in the primary outcome (40% vs 37%, P = .831). Differences between patient survival (84% vs 95%, P = .487), the incidence of acute rejection (20% vs 33%, P = .323), and the incidence of chronic lung allograft rejection (12% vs 5%, P = .441) were not different between groups.DISCUSSION:
Recipients chronically infected with an extensively resistant P aeruginosa had similar outcomes compared to those infected with more sensitive organisms.Palabras clave
