A comparative study of the use of selective digestive decontamination prophylaxis in living‐donor liver transplant recipients

Bacterial infections are major causes of early morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation. Selective digestive decontamination (SDD) can be used pre‐operatively for living‐donor liver transplant (LD‐LT), but its role in this setting remains controversial.
