BACKGROUND: @entity1578 is the principal cause of @entity204 after hepatectomy. Its progression towards @entity204 and its relationship with @entity295 are unclear. This study analysed predictors of mortality in @entity1 with @entity409 and the role of @entity295 in the @entity204 of these @entity1 . METHODS: The study focused on @entity1 with @entity409 , excluding those with vascular @entity715 , after liver resection at one of two centres between 1998 and 2006. RESULTS: @entity409 occurred after 57 (4.5 per cent) of 1271 hepatectomies. Fifty-three @entity1 without vascular @entity715 were included in the analysis, with a mortality rate of 23 per cent. Independent predictors of @entity204 were age (odds ratio (OR) 1.18 per year increase; P = 0.017), @entity82 (OR 54.09; P = 0.004) and @entity86 (OR 37.58; P = 0.005). @entity295 occurred in 15 @entity1 (28 per cent), seven of whom died. Intestinal pathogens were isolated in 12 @entity1 with @entity295 . The risk of @entity295 was significantly increased in those with surgical complications (11 of 16 versus four of 37; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: @entity295 plays a key role in the @entity204 of @entity1 with @entity409 after hepatectomy. Early recognition and aggressive treatment of @entity295 may reduce mortality.
