Popis: ABSTRACT: Objectives: Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR-PSA) constitutes an emerging health problem. A predictive score of MDR-PSA infection would allow an early adaptation of empirical antibiotic therapy. Methods: We performed a single-centre case-control (1:2) retrospective study including 100 patients with MDR-PSA and 200 with a non–MDR-PSA infection. Cases and controls were matched by site of infection, clinical characteristics and immunosuppression. A point risk score for prediction of MDR-PSA infection was derived from a logistic regression model. Secondary outcomes (clinical improvement, complications and discharge) were also compared. Results: Cases with MDR-PSA infection were younger than controls (67.5 vs. 73.0 y; P = 0.031) and have more frequent cirrhosis (9% vs. 2%; P = 0.005). Independent risk factors for MDR-PSA infection were prior antibiotic treatment (80% vs. 50.5%; P < 0.001), prior colonisation with MDR bacteria (41% vs. 13.5%; P < 0.001), hospital-acquired infection (63% vs. 47%; P = 0.009) and septic shock at diagnosis (33% vs. 14%; P < 0.001). Adequate therapy was less frequent in MDR-PSA infections (31% vs. 66.5% for empirical therapy; P < 0.001). The risk score included: previous MDR-PSA isolation (11 points), prior antibiotic use (3 points), hospital-acquired infection (2 points) and septic shock at diagnosis (2 points). It showed an area under the curve of 0.755 (95% CI: 0.70–0.81) and allowed to classify individual risk into various categories: 0–2 points (
