TABLE 3.
Higher overall fungal frequency in BD donor samples by cultivationa
| Donor | No. of samples | % positive | P valueb |
|---|---|---|---|
| BD | 104 | 81 | P < 0.0001 |
| DCD | 90 | 31 |
Fundus, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and ascending colon luminal and mucosal samples from BD and DCD donors were plated, when available, for viable fungal growth in duplicate. The presence or absence of fungal growth was recorded by percent positive, summarized as BD or DCD positive/total. Those ratios are displayed as a percent of BD or DCD positive.
Statistical significance was measured by Fisher’s exact test.
