Median time to pneumonia was 11 days (IQR, 7\u201313); 49% (132\/270) of donor and 16% (44\/270) of recipient respiratory peri-transplant cultures were positive. However, pathogens associated with pneumonia were not genetically related to either donor or recipient cultures at transplant, as determined by PFGE. Diagnosed pulmonary hypertension (HR, 4.42; 95% CI, 1.62\u201312.08) and immunosuppression use (HR, 2.87; 95% CI, 1.30\u20136.56) were pre-transplant factors associated with pneumonia. Pneumonia occurrence was associated with longer hospital stay (HR, 5.44; 95% CI, 2.22\u201313.37) and VAP with longer ICU stay (HR, 4.31; 95% CI, 1.73\u201310.75) within the first 30 days post-transplantation; 30- and 90-day mortality were similar.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Prospectively assessed early pneumonia incidence occurred in \u223c10% of LT.
