About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to map the pathogen profile of secondary infections in liver transplant recipients, to correlate the basic immune status with the characteristics of the secondary infection pathogen profile, and to establish an early warning system for monitoring secondary infections, so as to explore safe and effective therapeutic modalities to further reduce the morbidity and mortality of liver failure. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Characterize the distribution of pathogenic bacteria infecting liver transplant recipients. * Establish a monitoring and early warning system for secondary infections.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Secondary Infections in liver transplant recipients at 4 weeks

Site of infection, pathogen results such as blood or body fluid pathogen cultures or Next-generation sequencing(NGS) results.

Time frame
4 weeks
2

quick SEPSIS RELATED ORGAN FAILURE ASSESSMENT(qSOFA) at 4 weeks

qSOFA consists of 3 items: altered state of consciousness, systolic blood pressure ≤ 100 mmHg, and respiratory rate ≥ 22 respirations/min. 2 or more items, i.e., a qSOFA score of ≥ 2, are considered to be suspicious for sepsis.Higher qSOFA scores are associated with a higher risk of patient death.

Time frame
4 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Occurrence of secondary infections in liver transplant recipients at 8 weeks, including site of infection, pathogen of infection

Site of infection, pathogen results such as blood or body fluid pathogen cultures or Next-generation sequencing(NGS) results.

Time frame
8 weeks
2

Occurrence of secondary infections in liver transplant recipients at 12 weeks, including site of infection, pathogen of infection

Site of infection, pathogen results such as blood or body fluid pathogen cultures or Next-generation sequencing(NGS) results.

Time frame
12 weeks
3

qSOFA score at 8 weeks

qSOFA consists of 3 items: altered state of consciousness, systolic blood pressure ≤ 100 mmHg, and respiratory rate ≥ 22 respirations/min. 2 or more items, i.e., a qSOFA score of ≥ 2, are considered to be suspicious for sepsis.Higher qSOFA scores are associated with a higher risk of patient death.

Time frame
8 weeks
4

qSOFA score at 12 weeks

qSOFA consists of 3 items: altered state of consciousness, systolic blood pressure ≤ 100 mmHg, and respiratory rate ≥ 22 respirations/min. 2 or more items, i.e., a qSOFA score of ≥ 2, are considered to be suspicious for sepsis.Higher qSOFA scores are associated with a higher risk of patient death.

Time frame
