Abstract
Methods: A prospective cohort study including 297 critically ill older adults. These patients were newly admitted to high dependency units (HDUs) in a tertiary care Geriatrics hospital, from April 1, 2019, to January 4, 2020. Collection of demographic, clinical, and laboratory data on index hospitalization was done through reviewing participant's medical records and direct questioning for each patient/proxy about potential risk factors. Followed by observation of the emergence of MDR-GNB infection during the HDUs stay.
