Additional risk factors for infection by multidrug-resistant pathogens in healthcare-associated infection: a large cohort study
BACKGROUND There is a lack of consensus regarding the definition of risk factors for healthcare-associated infection (HCAI). The purpose of this study was to identify additional risk factors for HCAI, which are not included in the current definition of HCAI, associated with infection by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, in all hospitalized infected patients from the community. METHODS This...
متن کاملImmunossupressed patients admitted into intensive care with infection: risk factors for infection by multidrug resistant pathogens and hospital mortality
Methods Retrospective cohort study of all patients under IST (corticosteroids, chemotherapy or other immunosuppressive drugs) admitted with infection at a 11-bed mixed ICU, in a tertiary care, university-affiliated hospital, between January 2011 and December 2014. Patients who started IS in the same episode were excluded. MDR pathogen was defined as a pathogen resistant to at least three antibi...
متن کاملProposed risk factors for infection with multidrug-resistant pathogens in hemodialysis patients hospitalized with pneumonia
BACKGROUND In patients with hemodialysis-associated pneumonia (HDAP), information on both microbiologic features and antimicrobial strategies is limited. The aim of this study is to investigate predictive factors of infection with multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens in HDAP patients. METHODS This was a multicenter, retrospective, and observational study. Enrolled patients were classified into...
متن کاملA new strategy for healthcare-associated pneumonia: a 2-year prospective multicenter cohort study using risk factors for multidrug-resistant pathogens to select initial empiric therapy.
BACKGROUND Optimal empiric therapy for hospitalized patients with healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) is uncertain. METHODS We prospectively applied a therapeutic algorithm, based on the presence of risk factors for multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens in a multicenter cohort study of 445 pneumonia patients, including both community-acquired pneumonia (CAP; n = 124) and HCAP (n = 321). RE...
متن کاملRisk factors for multidrug-resistant pathogens in bronchiectasis exacerbations
BACKGROUND Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis is a chronic structural lung condition that courses with recurrent infectious exacerbations that lead to frequent antibiotic treatment making this population more susceptible to acquire pathogens with antibiotic resistance. We aimed to investigate risk factors associated with isolation of multidrug-resistant pathogens in bronchiectasis exacerbations...
