Incidence varies from 1\u00b72% to 5\u00b76% and mortality is greater than 50%. Few studies have investigated this complication. We aimed to describe cases of, and identify the factors associated with, invasive aspergillosis occurrence and mortality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sectitle0020\">Methods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This nationwide, retrospective, matched case\u2013control study included cases of invasive aspergillosis occurring after liver transplantation between Jan 1, 2007, and Dec 31, 2021, matched 1:1 on centre and transplantation period to control individuals without invasive aspergillosis across 15 liver transplantation centres in France. Cases were patients aged 18 years or older who presented with proven or probable invasive aspergillosis. The matched control was the next patient who received a transplant at the same transplantation centre after the case. Cases were retrospectively identified in each centre using the mycology laboratory database and the French Medicalised Information System Programme. Data were retrieved from hospital charts. The primary outcome was the identification of risk factors associated with the development of invasive aspergillosis following liver transplantation. Multivariable analysis using conditional logistic regression with a random effect for study centres was done to establish risk factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sectitle0025\">Findings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Among 14\u2009332 liver transplantations, 196 recipients with invasive aspergillosis (62 [32%] female and 134 [68%] male) were identified and matched with 196 control individuals (54 [28%] female and 142 [73%] male). Invasive aspergillosis occurred at a median of 29 days (IQR 7\u2013173) after liver transplantation. Risk factors for developing invasive aspergillosis were history of chronic kidney disease (adjusted odds ratio 4\u00b713 [95% CI 2\u00b735\u20137\u00b724]), liver transplantation for acute liver disease (3\u00b741 [1\u00b744\u20138\u00b706]), post-liver transplantation renal replacement therapy (3\u00b782 [1\u00b796\u20137\u00b742]), and post-liver transplantation vasopressor support for longer than 24 h (2\u00b782 [1\u00b770\u20134\u00b768]).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\"
