- Applying mucosal barrier injury laboratory-confirmed bloodstream infection criteria in patients with solid tumors and hematologic malignancies: A retrospective cohort study looking for the real source of infection(2023) SILVA, Ana Carolina Puin da; VIEIRA, Michely Fernandes; FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; VAZ, Lumena; BONAZZI, Patricia Rodrigues; IBRAHIM, Karim Yaqub; DIZ, Maria Del Pilar Esteves; HOFF, Paulo Marcelo; PEREIRA, Juliana; ROCHA, Vanderson Geraldo; ABDALA, EdsonWe evaluated the interference of the mucosal barrier injury (MBI) laboratory-confirmed bloodstream infection (MBI-LCBI) criteria on the central-line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) incidence density, and the proportion of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) among those classified as MBI. We detected 339 CLABSIs: 15.0% were classified as MBI-LCBIs, and among these, 19.6% were classified as CRBSIs.

A retrospective (2016-2021) observational cohort study was performed in 14 INCREMENT-SOT centers (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02852902; Impact of Specific Antimicrobials and MIC Values on the Outcome of Bloodstream Infections Due to ESBL-or Carbapenemaseproducing Enterobacterales in Solid Organ Transplantation: an Observational Multinational Study). Outcomes were 14-day and 30-day clinical success (complete resolution of attributable manifestations, adequate source control, and negative follow-up blood cultures) and 30-day all-cause mortality. Multivariable logistic and Cox regression analyses adjusted for the propensity score to receive CAZ-AVI were constructed. Among 210 SOT recipients with CPKP-BSI, 149 received active primary therapy with CAZ-AVI (66/149) or BAT (83/ 149). Patients treated with CAZ-AVI had higher 14-day (80.7% vs 60.6%, P =.011) and 30 day (83.1% vs 60.6%, P = .004) clinical success and lower 30-day mortality (13.25% vs 27.3%, P =.053) than those receiving BAT. In the adjusted analysis, CAZ-AVI increased the probability of 14-day (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.036.84; P = .044) and 30-day clinical success (aOR, 3.14; 95% CI, 1.17-8.40; P = .023). In contrast, CAZ-AVI therapy was not independently associated with 30-day mortality. In the CAZ-AVI group, combination therapy was not associated with better outcomes. In conclusion, CAZ-AVI may be considered a first-line treatment in SOT recipients with CPKP-BSI.
- Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Acquired Before Liver Transplantation: Impact on Recipient Outcomes(2017) FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; OSHIRO, Isabel C. V. S.; PIERROTTI, Ligia C.; BONAZZI, Patricia R.; OLIVEIRA, Larissa M. de; SONG, Alice T. W.; CAMARGO, Carlos H.; HEIJDEN, Inneke M. van der; ROSSI, Flavia; COSTA, Silvia F.; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz A. C.; ABDALA, EdsonBackground. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) is an emergent microorganism of infections after liver transplant (LT). The aim of this study was to analyze the risk factors for CRE acquisition and infection after LT. Methods. This was a prospective cohort study involving patients who underwent LT in the 2010 to 2014 period. Surveillance cultures for CRE were collected immediately before LT and weekly thereafter until hospital discharge. Results. We analyzed 386 patients undergoing a total of 407 LTs. Before LT, 68 (17.6%) patients tested positive for CRE, 11 (16.2%) of those patients having CRE infection, whereas 119 (30.8%) patients acquired CRE after LT. Post-LT CRE infection was identified in 59 (15.7%) patients: Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated in 83.2%; surgical site infection was the most common type of infection (46.7%). Multivariate analysis showed that post-LT dialysis was the only risk factor for post-LT CRE acquisition. Eighty-two percent of patients who underwent 3 or more post-LT dialysis sessions and acquired CRE before LT evolved with post-LT CRE infection. Other risk factors for CRE infection were acquisition of CRE post-LT, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score greater than 32, combined transplantation, and reoperation. Patients who acquired CRE before LT had a high risk of developing CRE infection (P < 0.001). Conclusions. Measures for minimizing that risk, including altering the antibiotic prophylaxis, should be investigated and implemented.
- Prediction models for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales carriage at liver transplantation: A multicenter retrospective study(2022) FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; RINALDI, Matteo; TERRABUIO, Debora Raquel Benedita; FURTADO, Mariane; PASQUINI, Zeno; BARTOLETTI, Michele; OLIVEIRA, Tiago Almeida de; NUNES, Nathalia Neves; LEMOS, Gabriela Takeshigue; MACCARO, Angelo; SINISCALCHI, Antonio; LAICI, Cristiana; CESCON, Matteo; DT'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto Carneiro; MORELLI, Maria Cristina; SONG, Alice T. W.; ABDALA, Edson; VIALE, Pierluigi; CHIAVEGATTO FILHO, Alexandre Dias Porto; GIANNELLA, MaddalenaBackground: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) colonisation at liver transplantation (LT) increases the risk of CRE infection after LT, which impacts on recipients' survival. Colonization status usually becomes evident only near LT. Thus, predictive models can be useful to guide antibiotic prophylaxis in endemic centres. Aims: This study aimed to identify risk factors for CRE colonisation at LT in order to build a predictive model. Methods: Retrospective multicentre study including consecutive adult patients who underwent LT, from 2010 to 2019, at two large teaching hospitals. We excluded patients who had CRE infections within 90 days before LT. CRE screening was performed in all patients on the day of LT. Exposure variables were considered within 90 days before LT and included cirrhosis complications, underlying disease, time on the waiting list, MELD and CLIF-SOFA scores, antibiotic use, intensive care unit and hospital stay, and infections. A machine learning model was trained to detect the probability of a patient being colonized with CRE at LT. Results: A total of 1544 patients were analyzed, 116 (7.5%) patients were colonized by CRE at LT. The median time from CRE isolation to LT was 5 days. Use of antibiotics, hepato-renal syndrome, worst CLIF sofa score, and use of beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor increased the probability of a patient having pre-LT CRE. The proposed algorithm had a sensitivity of 66% and a specificity of 83% with a negative predictive value of 97%. Conclusions: We created a model able to predict CRE colonization at LT based on easyto-obtain features that could guide antibiotic prophylaxis
- Quantification of C4d deposition and hepatitis C virus RNA in tissue in cases of graft rejection and hepatitis C recurrence after liver transplantation(2015) SONG, Alice Tung Wan; MELLO, Evandro Sobroza de; ALVES, Venancio Avancini Ferreira; CAVALHEIRO, Norma de Paula; MELO, Carlos Eduardo; BONAZZI, Patricia Rodrigues; TENGAN, Fatima Mitiko; FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; BARONE, Antonio Alci; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto Carneiro; ABDALA, EdsonHistology is the gold standard for diagnosing acute rejection and hepatitis C recurrence after liver transplantation. However, differential diagnosis between the two can be difficult. We evaluated the role of C4d staining and quantification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels in liver tissue. This was a retrospective study of 98 liver biopsy samples divided into four groups by histological diagnosis: acute rejection in patients undergoing liver transplant for hepatitis C (RejHCV+), HCV recurrence in patients undergoing liver transplant for hepatitis C (HCVTx+), acute rejection in patients undergoing liver transplant for reasons other than hepatitis C and chronic hepatitis C not transplanted (HCVTx-). All samples were submitted for immunohistochemical staining for C4d and HCV RNA quantification. Immunoexpression of C4d was observed in the portal vessels and was highest in the HCVTx- group. There was no difference in C4d expression between the RejHCV+ and HCVTx+ groups. However, tissue HCV RNA levels were higher in the HCVTx+ group samples than in the RejHCV+ group samples. Additionally, there was a significant correlation between tissue and serum levels of HCV RNA. The quantification of HCV RNA in liver tissue might prove to be an efficient diagnostic test for the recurrence of HCV infection.
- Lactated Ringer's Versus 4% Albumin on Lactated Ringer's in Early Sepsis Therapy in Cancer Patients: A Pilot Single-Center Randomized Trial(2019) PARK, Clarice Hyesuk Lee; ALMEIDA, Juliano Pinheiro de; OLIVEIRA, Gisele Queiroz de; RIZK, Stephanie Itala; FUKUSHIMA, Julia Tizue; NAKAMURA, Rosana Ely; MOURAO, Matheus Moraes; GALAS, Filomena Regina Barbosa Gomes; ABDALA, Edson; FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; JR, Jose Otavio Costa Auler; NARDELLI, Pasquale; MARTIN, Greg S.; LANDONI, Giovanni; HAJJAR, Ludhmila AbrahaoObjective: To investigate the effects of the administration of 4% albumin on lactated Ringer's, when compared with lactated Ringer's alone, in the early phase of sepsis in cancer patients. Design: Single-center, randomized, double-blind, controlled-parallel trial. Setting: A tertiary care university cancer hospital. Patients: Cancer patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. Interventions: Between October 2014 and December 2016, patients were randomly assigned to receive either bolus of albumin in a lactated Ringer's solution or lactated Ringer's solution alone during the first 6 hours of fluid resuscitation after intensive care medicine (ICU) admission. Primary outcome was defined as death from any cause at 7 days. Secondary outcomes were defined as death from any cause within 28 days, change in Sequence Organ Failure Assessment scores from baseline to day 7, days alive and free of mechanical ventilation, days alive and free of vasopressor, renal replacement therapy during ICU stay, and length of ICU and hospital stay. Measurements and Main Results: A total of 360 patients were enrolled in the trial. At 7 days, 46 of 180 patients (26%) died in the albumin group and 40 of 180 (22%) died in the lactated Ringer's group (p = 0.5). At 28 days, 96 of 180 patients (53%) died in the albumin group and 83 of 180 (46%) died in the lactated Ringer's group (p = 0.2). No significant differences in secondary outcomes were observed. Conclusions: Adding albumin to early standard resuscitation with lactated Ringer's in cancer patients with sepsis did not improve 7-day survival.
- Clinical profile and mortality predictors for tuberculosis disease among patients with solid tumours(2022) LIRA, Camila Agra Gomes de; BITTENCOURT, Driele Peixoto; BICALHO, Camila da Silva; RODRIGUES, Patricia Bonazzi; FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; ABDALA, Edson; PIERROTTI, Ligia CameraBackground The characteristics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) disease are still obscure in patients with solid tumours, as well as the benefits of screening and treating latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in these patients. Our objective was to trace the clinical profile of these individuals and assess the mortality predictors related to tuberculosis (TB). Methods We reviewed the medical records of 126 patients with solid tumours malignancy and who developed TB disease between January 2009 and April 2018 at a cancer referral centre. Results The most common locations of malignancy were head and neck, with squamous cell carcinoma being the most frequent histological type, the majority (97/126) presenting locally invasive tumours (T3 or T4). A total of 120 had TB pulmonary and the microbiological diagnosis was performed in 103/126. The following variables were associated with the risk of death from TB: DPOC lung cancer, BMI, malnutrition, metastasis and ECOG 3 or 4. Previous chemotherapy treatment was a protective factor. Conclusions Male, usage of alcohol and smoking were the most predominant patients characteristics in our sample. In the multivariate analysis, lung cancer, presence of metastasis and ECOG >= 3 were associated with death from TB.
conferenceObject The Worth of Surveillance for Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci in the Hematology-Oncology Unit(2014) BELLESSO, Marcelo; ABDALA, Edson; PEREIRA, Juliana; SANTUCCI, Rodrigo; IBRAHIM, Karim Yaqub; FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; FRATELLI, Lumena Vaz Carvalho; MARQUES, Patricia Andrea Crippa- Surgical site infections in liver transplant recipients in the model for end-stage liver disease era: An analysis of the epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes(2013) FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; OSHIRO, Isabel C. V. Soares; BONAZZI, Patricia Rodrigues; GUIMARAES, Thais; FIGUEIRA, Estela Regina Ramos; BACCHELLA, Telesforo; COSTA, Silvia Figueiredo; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto Carneiro; ABDALA, EdsonIn recipients of liver transplantation (LT), surgical site infection (SSIs) are among the most common types of infection occurring in the first 60 days after LT. In 2007, the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scoring system was adopted as the basis for prioritizing organ allocation. Patients with higher MELD scores are at higher risk for developing SSIs as well as other health care-associated infections. However, there have been no studies comparing the incidence of SSIs in the pre-MELD era with the incidence in the period since its adoption. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the incidence, etiology, epidemiology, and outcomes of post-LT SSIs in those 2 periods and to identify risk factors for SSIs. We evaluated all patients who underwent LT over a 10-year period (2002-2011). SSI cases were identified through active surveillance. The primary outcome measure was an SSI during the first 60 days after LT. Risk factors were analyzed via logistic regression, and 60-day survival rates were evaluated via Cox regression. We evaluated 543 patients who underwent LT 597 times. The SSI rates in the 2002-2006 and 2007-2011 periods were 30% and 24%, respectively (P=0.21). We identified the following risk factors for SSIs: retransplantation, the transfusion of more than 2 U of blood during LT, dialysis, cold ischemia for >400 minutes, and a cytomegalovirus infection. The overall 60-day survival rate was 79%. Risk factors for 60-day mortality were retransplantation, dialysis, and a longer surgical time. The use of the MELD score modified the incidence and epidemiology of SSIs only during the first year after its adoption. Risks for SSIs were related more to intraoperative conditions and intercurrences after LT than to a patient's status before LT. Liver Transpl 19:1011-1019, 2013. (c) 2013 AASLD.
