| Summary: | Background. To analyze predictors of mortality and
poor outcome in cancer patients diagnosed with E. faecium bloodstream infection.
Methods. Demographic, clinical and microbiological
data were collected (January 1998-June 2011).
Results. After multivariate analysis, presence of a
urinary catheter was associated with a worse 7-day
prognosis, and higher mortality at discharge. A high
Charlson index was also associated with higher 7-day
mortality.
Conclusion. Presence of a urinary catheter was associated with poor 7-day prognosis and higher mortality at
discharge in the present series. |
