Summary: | Abstract
Background
Bloodstream infection (BSI) caused by carbapenem resistant
Klebsiella pneumoniae
(CRKP), especially in elderly patients, results in higher morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to assess risk factors associated with CRKP BSI and short-term mortality among elderly patients in China.
Methods
In this retrospective cohort study, we enrolled 252 inpatients aged ≥ 65 years with BSI caused by KP from January 2011 to December 2020 in China. Data regarding demographic, microbiological characteristics, and clinical outcome were collected.
Result
Among the 252 BSI patients, there were 29 patients (11.5%) caused by CRKP and 223 patients (88.5%) by carbapenem-susceptible KP (CSKP). The overall 28-day mortality rate of elderly patients with a KP BSI episode was 10.7% (27/252), of which CRKP BSI patients (14 / 29, 48.3%) were significantly higher than CSKP patients (13 / 223, 5.83%) (
P
< 0.001). Hypertension (OR: 13.789, [95% CI: 3.883–48.969],
P
< 0.001), exposure to carbapenems (OR: 8.073, [95% CI: 2.066–31.537],
P
= 0.003), and ICU stay (OR: 11.180, [95% CI: 2.663–46.933],
P
= 0.001) were found to be associated with the development of CRKP BSI in elderly patients. A multivariate analysis showed that isolation of CRKP (OR 2.881, 95% CI 1.228–6.756,
P
= 0.015) and KP isolated in ICU (OR 11.731, 95% CI 4.226–32.563,
P
< 0.001) were independent risk factors for 28-day mortality of KP BSI.
Conclusion
In elderly patients, hypertension, exposure to carbapenems and ICU stay were associated with the development of CRKP BSI. Active screening of CRKP for the high-risk populations, especially elderly patients, is significant for early detection and successful management of CRKP infection. |
