Impact of Intensive Care Unit Discharge Delay on Liver Transplantation Outcomes
Background: For general intensive care unit (ICU) patients, ICU discharge delay (ICUDD) has been associated with an increased hospital length of stay (LOS) and the acquisition of multi-resistant organism (MRO) infections. The impact of ICUDD on liver transplant (LT) recipients is unknown. Methods: W...

description | Background: For general intensive care unit (ICU) patients, ICU discharge delay (ICUDD) has been associated with an increased hospital length of stay (LOS) and the acquisition of multi-resistant organism (MRO) infections. The impact of ICUDD on liver transplant (LT) recipients is unknown. Methods: We retrospectively studied consecutive adult LT between 2011 and 2019. ICUDD was defined as >8 h between a patient being cleared for discharge to ward and the patient leaving the ICU. Results: 550 patients received LT and the majority (68.5%) experienced ICUDD. The median time between clearance for ward and the patient leaving the ICU was 25.6 h. No donor or recipient variables were associated with ICUDD. Patients cleared for discharge early in the week (Sunday-Tuesday) and those discharged outside routine work hours were more likely to experience ICUDD (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). The median hospital LOS was identical (18 days, p = 0.96) and there were no differences in other patient outcomes. Patients who became colonized with MRO in the ICU spent a longer time there compared to those who remained MRO-free (9 vs. 6 days, p < 0.001); however, this was not due to ICUDD. Conclusion: ICUDD post-LT is common and does not prolong hospital LOS. ICUDD is not associated with adverse patient outcomes or MRO colonization. |
