| Popis: | OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence of intra-hospital mortality and associated risk factors in older people aged 75+, admitted with blood stream infections (BSI). DESIGN: Single center retrospective study performed in an 850-bed of the academic hospital of the Université Libre de Bruxelles. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: From January 2015 to December 2017, all inpatients over 75 years old admitted with BSI were included. MEASURES: Demographical, clinical and microbiological data were collected. RESULTS: 212 patients were included: median age was 82 [79-85] years and 60 % were female. The in-hospital mortality rate was 19%. The majority of microorganisms were Gram-negative strains, of which Escherichia coli was the most common, and urinary tract infection was the most common origin of BSI. Compared to patients who survived, the non-survivor group had a higher SOFA score (6 versus 3, p SCOPUS: ar.j info:eu-repo/semantics/published |
