Abstract
Introduction: We aimed to investigate risk factors for mortality among older adults (≥ 75 years) with hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (HA-BSI) in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Methods: We included patients aged ≥ 75 years with HA-BSI in ICU from the EUROBACT-2 cohort (2019-2021). Univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted to identify predictors of 28-day mortality.
Results: The cohort included 563 patients (median age 80, 39% women). Mortality at 28 day was 50%. Factors associated with mortality in multivariate analysis were admission due to COVID-19, failure to achieve source control, and higher SOFA. Among older adults with Gram-negative BSI, corticosteroid administration for septic shock was an additional factor. Among functionally independent patients, age itself was not associated with mortality.
Conclusions: HA-BSI in older adults in ICU are associated with high mortality. Inadequate source control is a significant modifiable risk factor. The use of corticosteroids in ICU management of older adults should be further investigated.
期刊介绍:
Infectious Diseases and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of infectious disease therapies and interventions, including vaccines and devices. Studies relating to diagnostic products and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to, bacterial and fungal infections, viral infections (including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis), parasitological diseases, tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases, vaccinations and other interventions, and drug-resistance, chronic infections, epidemiology and tropical, emergent, pediatric, dermal and sexually-transmitted diseases.
