Impact of Advanced Age on Posttransplant Infections and Outcomes in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: A Multicenter Cohort Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn recent years, with the aging population worldwide, the number of elderly undergoing solid organ transplantation has been steadily increasing. However, data on the effects of advanced age on infection characteristics and clinical outcomes in transplant recipients are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of advanced age on infections and clinical outcomes in solid organ transplant recipients.
methodsThis retrospective multicenter cohort study included patients who underwent solid organ transplantation at different transplant centers in Türkiye between 2003 and 2023 and were followed up for at least 1 year. Patients were divided into two age groups: ≥ 60 years and < 60 years. Demographic characteristics, laboratory parameters, infection episodes, and clinical outcomes were compared between the two age groups.
resultsThe study included 273 (27.7%) patients aged ≥ 60 years and 712 (72.3%) patients aged < 60 years, totaling 985 recipients. Male sex and liver transplantation were more common in the older age group (p < 0.001). Hospital stay was significantly longer in patients aged ≥ 60 years (p = 0.002). However, there was no difference between the two age groups in terms of time to first infection or number of infection episodes. The mortality rate in patients aged ≥ 60 years was 21.6%. The most common cause of death was bacterial infection, with carbapenem-resistant pathogens detected in a substantial proportion of cases.
conclusionsAlthough infection incidence was similar across age groups, solid organ transplant recipients aged ≥ 60 years had higher mortality and longer hospital stays, highlighting the need for careful clinical monitoring in older transplant recipients.
