Popis: We aimed to study the association of body temperature and other admission factors with outcomes of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) adult patients requiring ICU admission. We conducted a retrospective multicenter study on patients diagnosed with HSE in 47 ICUs in France, between 2007 and 2017. Fever was defined as a body temperature higher or equal to 38.3 °C. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with poor outcome at 90 days, defined by a score of 3–6 (indicating moderate-to-severe disability or death) on the modified Rankin scale. Overall, 259 patients with a score on the Glasgow coma scale of 9 (6–12) and a body temperature of 38.7 (38.1–39.2) °C at admission were studied. At 90 days, 185 (71%) patients had a poor outcome, including 44 (17%) deaths. After adjusting for age, fever (OR = 2.21; 95% CI 1.18–4.16), mechanical ventilation (OR = 2.21; 95% CI 1.21–4.03), and MRI brain lesions > 3 lobes (OR = 3.04; 95% CI 1.35–6.81) were independently associated with poor outcome. By contrast, a direct ICU admission, as compared to initial admission to the hospital wards (i.e., indirect ICU admission), was protective (OR = 0.52; 95% CI 0.28–0.95). Sensitivity analyses performed after adjustment for functional status before admission and reason for ICU admission yielded similar results. In HSE adult patients requiring ICU admission, several admission factors are associated with an increased risk of poor functional outcome. The identification of potentially modifiable factors, namely, elevated admission body temperature and indirect ICU admission, provides an opportunity for testing further intervention strategies.
