Popis: We analyzed risk factors for mortality in febrile neutropenic patients with bloodstream infections (BSI) presenting with septic shock and assessed the impact of empirical antibiotic regimens. A multicenter retrospective study (2010 to 2019) of two prospective cohorts compared BSI episodes in patients with or without septic shock. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for mortality in episodes with septic shock. Of 1,563 patients with BSI, 257 (16%) presented with septic shock. Those patients with septic shock had higher mortality than those without septic shock (55% versus 15%, P 70 years (odds ratio [OR], 2.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2 to 4.7), IEAT for Candida spp. or Gram-negative bacilli (OR, 3.8; 95% CI, 1.3 to 11.1), acute kidney injury (OR, 2.6; 95% CI, 1.4 to 4.9), and amikacin as the only active antibiotic (OR, 15.2; 95% CI, 1.7 to 134.5) were independent risk factors for mortality, while the combination of β-lactam and amikacin was protective (OR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.18 to 0.57). Septic shock in febrile neutropenic patients with BSI is associated with extremely high mortality, especially when IEAT is administered. Combination therapy including an active β-lactam and amikacin results in the best outcomes.
