OBJECTIVES: This study sought to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of @entity1576 in cardiac transplant recipients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cardiac transplant recipients >15 years of age and readmitted to the intensive care unit after cardiac transplant between 2005 and 2015 were included. RESULTS: Thirty-nine @entity1 were included in the final analyses. @entity1 with @entity1576 and without @entity1576 were compared. The most frequent causes of readmission were routine intensive care unit follow-up after endomyocardial biopsy, @entity712 , @entity295 , and @entity55 . @entity1 who were readmitted to the intensive care unit were further divided into 2 groups based on presence of @entity1576 . @entity1 ' ages and body weights did not differ between groups. The groups were not different in terms of comorbidities. The admission sequential organ failure assessment scores were higher in @entity1 with @entity1576 . @entity1 with @entity1576 were more likely to use bronchodilators and @entity898 before readmission. Mean peak inspiratory pressures were higher in @entity1 in @entity1576 . @entity1 with @entity1576 developed @entity295 more frequently and they were more likely to have @entity551 . @entity1 with @entity1576 had higher values of serum @entity1011 before admission to intensive care unit and in the first day of intensive care unit. @entity1 with @entity1576 had more frequent bilateral opacities on chest radiographs and positive blood and urine cultures. Duration of intensive care unit and hospital stays were not statistically different between groups. Mortality in @entity1 with @entity1576 was 76.5% compared with 0% in @entity1 without @entity1576 . CONCLUSIONS: A significant number of cardiac transplant recipients were readmitted to the intensive care unit. @entity1 presenting with @entity1576 on readmission more frequently developed @entity295 and @entity551 , suggesting a poorer prognosis.
