BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of infection in patients with ESRD. Clinical and economic outcomes associated with S. aureus bacteremia and other S. aureus infections in patients with ESRD were examined. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Laboratory, clinical, and hospital billing data from a randomized trial of 3359 hemodialysis-dependent patients hospitalized with S. aureus infection in the United States whose vascular access type was fistula or graft and who were hospitalized with S. aureus infection to evaluate inpatient costs, hospital days, and mortality over 12 wk were used. Generalized linear regression was used to identify independent predictors of 12-wk costs, inpatient days, and mortality. RESULTS Of the 279 patients (8.3%) who developed S. aureus infection during approximately 1 yr of follow-up, 25.4% were treated as outpatients. Among patients for whom billing data were available, 89 patients hospitalized with S. aureus bacteremia incurred mean 12-wk inpatient costs of $19,454 and 11.9 inpatient days. Among the 70 patients hospitalized with non-bloodstream S. aureus infections, mean inpatient costs were $19,222 and the mean number of inpatient days was 11.3. Twelve-week mortality was 20.2 and 15.7% for patients with S. aureus bloodstream and non-bloodstream infections, respectively. Older age was independently associated with higher risk of death among patients with S. aureus bacteremia and with higher inpatient costs and more hospital days among patients with non-bloodstream infections. CONCLUSIONS Hemodialysis-dependent patients with fistula or graft access incur high costs and long inpatient stays when hospitalized for S. aureus infection.

What is the significance of Staphylococcus aureus colonization in hemodialysis patients?

studies, however, reported on the frequency of extra-nasal S. aureus colonization in the absence of nasal colonization. In the current issue of Nephron , Eells et al. investigated this question by simultaneously obtaining cultures from 100 hemodialysis patients from 3 body sites (nares, oropharynx, and inguinal) [6] . They observed S. aureus colonization in 42% of patients, including 36% with m...

Prevalence and Antibiotic Susceptibility Profile of MRSA Strains Isolated from Anterior Nares of Hemodialysis Patients

Patients with End Stage Renal Disease on maintenance hemodialysis are at a greater risk for bacterial infection particularly Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is a challenge in clinical practice nowadays, because they resist a great range of antibiotics. This study mainly designed in order to determine the prevalence MRSA in anterior nares samples of hemo...

Comparison of the clinical features and outcomes of infective endocarditis between hemodialysis and non-hemodialysis patients

Hemodialysis (HD) patients are more susceptible to infective endocarditis (IE) due to the increased risk of bacterial invasion through intravascular access. However, it remains unclear whether the causative organisms and outcomes of IE in HD patients differ from those in non-HD patients. This study clarified the differences in clinical presentation and outcomes between HD and non-HD patients. A...
