{"title":"Antimicrobial use and other risk factors for infections with antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and fungi bacteria and fungi in an intensive care unit","authors":"A. Cheng, Jesse Chou, Robert G Sawyer","doi":"10.4103/wjsi.wjsi_12_22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/wjsi.wjsi_12_22","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Resistant infections are especially problematic in the intensive care unit (ICU), but risk factors remain unclear. We hypothesized that the risk factors for resistant Gram-negative rods (rGNR), resistant Gram-positive cocci (rGPC), and secondary fungal infections differed. Materials and Methods: A single-center cohort study of patients with ICU-acquired infections from 1997 to 2017 was performed. Inclusion was conditioned on the presence of rGNR, rGPC, or fungi. Risk factors studied included demographics, medical comorbidities, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score, and previous antimicrobial exposure. Results: Four thousand three hundred and nineteen ICU-acquired infections were identified. One thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight were considered resistant and 2321 were considered nonresistant. Identification of any resistant organism was significantly associated with female sex, nontrauma diagnosis, APACHE II score, liver disease, chronic steroid use, history of any prior infection, and history of a resistant infection, but not days of prior antimicrobial use. Infections with rGNR were associated with days of therapeutic antimicrobials given for a previous infection, but not total prior antimicrobial days during hospitalization. rGPC infections were associated with both previous infections treated with antimicrobials and total prior antimicrobial days during hospitalization. Fungal infections were not associated with any measure of prior antimicrobial exposure. Controlling for the severity of illness and demographics, resistant infections were not associated with mortality compared to nonresistant infections. Conclusions: The likelihood of rGNR infection is closely linked to recent antimicrobial exposure, while rGPC infection appears to be associated with prior antimicrobial exposure. Fungal infections may not be associated with prior antimicrobial exposure. These findings suggest disparate mechanisms of dysbiosis for different classes of resistant pathogens.","PeriodicalId":278234,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Surgical Infection","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126412858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) rates are also high in the setting. To scale up access to surgical care toward achieving the goals of universal health coverage, several countries in the setting have created surgical plans. These plans aim to significantly increase surgical volumes. These countries must scale up infection prevention and control programs at the same pace to avoid uncontrollable increases in SSI and AMR rates. Implementation of the safe surgery checklist needs to be scaled up to support SSI prevention and control programs.","PeriodicalId":278234,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Surgical Infection","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126349728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
