ABSTRACT
0.05).The death rate of cases with pneumonia combined with ascites was higher than that of cases with ascites only(?2=4.894,P=0.027) and cases without ascites and infections(?2=9.260,P=0.002).Unfavorable prognosis was found in cases with Enterococcus faecium isolated before OLT.CONCLUSIONS Severe lung infection before OLT is one of the main reasons of death.It is important to grasp characteristics of infection,evaluate risk fully,control infections and screen cases strictly before OLT to improve survival rate.
