To define predictors of bacteremia and to assess the potential role of exposure to cytomegalovirus (CMV) as a risk factor for bacteremia in liver transplant recipients, an intention-to-treat analysis of data for 146 orthotopic liver transplant recipients who participated in a multicenter, randomized, intervention trial was undertaken. Fifty-eight episodes of bacteremia occurred in 40 (27.4%) of 146 patients within 1 year after transplantation. Bacteremia was diagnosed a median of 39.5 days (range, 1-325 days) after transplantation. One-year mortality rates were higher among patients with bacteremia than among those without bacteremia (47.5% [19 of 40] vs. 18% [19 of 106], respectively; P = .001). A time-dependent multivariate analysis of variables that were significantly (P &lt; or = .05) associated with bacteremia in the univariate analysis showed that donor CMV seropositivity (relative risk [RR], 3.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.6-6.6; P = .0005), age of younger than 16 years (RR, 2.6; 95% CI, 1.3-5.2; P &lt; .0059), and a major abdominal operation after transplantation excluding retransplantation (RR, 3.8; 95% CI, 1.8-8.0; P = .0004) were independently associated with bacteremia. These epidemiologic data suggest that exposure to CMV from the donated organ is an independent risk factor for bacteremia in orthotopic liver transplant recipients.
