Extraintestinal pathogenic (ExPEC) causes invasive disease (IED), including bacteraemia and (uro)sepsis, resulting in a high disease burden, especially among older adults. This study describes the epidemiology of IED in England (2013-2017) by combining laboratory surveillance and clinical data. A total of 191 612 IED cases were identified. IED incidence increased annually by 4.4-8.2% across all ages and 2.8-7.6% among adults ≥60 years of age. When laboratory-confirmed urosepsis cases without a positive blood culture were included, IED incidence in 2017 reached 149.4/100 000 person-years among all adults and 368.4/100 000 person-years among adults ≥60 years of age. Laboratory-confirmed IED cases were identified through -positive blood samples (55.3%), other sterile site samples (26.3%), and urine samples (16.6%), with similar proportions observed among adults ≥60 years of age. IED-associated case fatality rates ranged between 11.8-13.2% among all adults and 13.1-14.7% among adults ≥60 years of age. This study reflects the findings of other published studies and demonstrates IED constitutes a major and growing global health concern disproportionately affecting the older adult population. The high case fatality rates observed despite available antibiotic treatments emphasize the growing urgency for effective intervention strategies. The burden of urosepsis due to is likely underestimated and requires additional investigation.
肠外致病性(ExPEC)可引发侵袭性疾病(IED),包括菌血症和(尿)脓毒症,导致很高的疾病负担,尤其是在老年人中。本研究通过结合实验室监测和临床数据,描述了英格兰地区(2013 - 2017年)侵袭性疾病的流行病学情况。共识别出191612例侵袭性疾病病例。所有年龄段的侵袭性疾病发病率每年增长4.4 - 8.2%,60岁及以上成年人中发病率增长2.8 - 7.6%。若将实验室确诊但血培养未呈阳性的尿脓毒症病例纳入计算,2017年所有成年人的侵袭性疾病发病率达到149.4/10万/人年,60岁及以上成年人中发病率为368.4/10万/人年。实验室确诊的侵袭性疾病病例通过阳性血样(55.3%)、其他无菌部位样本(26.3%)和尿样(16.6%)得以识别,60岁及以上成年人中的比例与之相似。侵袭性疾病相关的病死率在所有成年人中为11.8 - 13.2%,在60岁及以上成年人中为13.1 - 14.7%。本研究反映了其他已发表研究的结果,并表明侵袭性疾病是一个重大且日益严重的全球健康问题,对老年人群体的影响尤为严重。尽管有可用的抗生素治疗,但观察到的高病死率凸显了有效干预策略的紧迫性日益增加。由[未提及具体病原体]导致的尿脓毒症负担可能被低估,需要进一步调查。
