Background  Infections remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. This study was performed to identify the overall prevalence of early infections, prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infection after KT, one-year postoperative mortality in patients with early infections and risk factors for CRKP infections.    Methods  We conducted a retrospective study of all patients who received KT in our hospital between January 2017 and December 2019. We evaluated the demographic, clinical, infection characteristics and the one-year postoperative outcomes.    Results  Among the 419 patients who received KT between January 2017 and December 2019, 150 patients had at least one infection within 90 days after KT. The total prevalence of early infections was 36.1% (150/415), the prevalence of early CRKP infections was 10.4% (43/415), and the one-year postoperative mortality was 15.3% (23/150) in patients with early infections. The risk factors independently related to one-year postoperative mortality were mechanical ventilation (MV) > 48 h (Odds ratio (OR)= 13.879, 95%Confidence interval (CI): 2.265~85.035; P=0.004) and CRKP infection (OR=6.751, 95% CI: 1.051~43.369; P =0.044). MV> 48 h was independently related to CRKP infection (OR=3.719, 95% CI: 1.024~13.504; P=0.046). Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that the one-year survival rate of patients infected with CRKP in the early postoperative stage was significantly lower than that of uninfected patients.    Conclusions  In general, the prevalence of early infections after KT is high, and CRKP infection is closely correlated with poor prognosis. The effective prevention and treatment of CRKP infection is an important way to improve the one-year survival rate after KT.
