To evaluate the impact of multidrug resistance (MDR) on the mortality of cancer patients with bloodstream infection (BSI) by Gram-negative bacilli (GNB).
This was a prospective observational multicentre study including cancer patients with BSI caused by GNB (June 2018-January 2020). The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. The secondary outcome was mortality attributable to MDR organisms, including extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales, carbapenem-resistant (CR) Enterobacterales and CR non-fermenting GNB (CR-NFGNB). A multivariable regression analysis identified factors associated with 30-day mortality. Adjusted odds ratio (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated. Attributable mortality was estimated according to DRIVE-AB Consortium's formula.
Of 347 cancer patients, 232 (66.9%) had BSI caused by MDR-GNB. Thirty-day mortality was 27.2% in patients with BSI caused by MDR organisms compared to 7% in those with BSI by susceptible GNB ( < 0.001). In the multivariable analysis, MDR-GNB including ESBL-producing Enterobacterales (aOR 8.734, 95% CI 1.411-54.077, = 0.02), KPC-producing Enterobacterales (aOR 8.548, 95% CI 1.296-56.411, = 0.026), metallo-β-lactamases (MBL)-producing Enterobacterales (aOR 15.802, 95% CI 1.408-68.667, = 0.022) and CR-NFGNB (aOR 53.373, 95% CI 5.104-89.146, < 0.001) as compared to susceptible GNB were independently associated with 30-day mortality. Mortality attributable to MDR-GNB was 43%. According to causative pathogens, attributable mortality was 33% in ESBL, 32% in KPC, 47% in MBL and 73% in CR-NFGNB.
In cancer patients, BSIs due to MDR-GNB are associated with excess mortality compared to BSI by susceptible GNB. Strategies to reduce the spread of MDR-GNB and to promote optimal management of affected patients are urgently needed.
评估多重耐药(MDR)对革兰氏阴性杆菌(GNB)所致血流感染(BSI)癌症患者死亡率的影响。
这是一项前瞻性观察性多中心研究,纳入了由GNB引起BSI的癌症患者(2018年6月至2020年1月)。主要结局是30天死亡率。次要结局是由MDR微生物导致的死亡率,包括产超广谱β-内酰胺酶(ESBL)的肠杆菌科细菌、耐碳青霉烯类(CR)肠杆菌科细菌和CR非发酵GNB(CR-NFGNB)。多变量回归分析确定了与30天死亡率相关的因素。计算了调整后的优势比(aOR)及95%置信区间(95%CI)。根据DRIVE-AB联盟的公式估算归因死亡率。
在347例癌症患者中,232例(66.9%)发生了由MDR-GNB引起的BSI。MDR微生物所致BSI患者的30天死亡率为27.2%,而敏感GNB所致BSI患者的死亡率为7%(<0.001)。在多变量分析中,与敏感GNB相比,包括产ESBL肠杆菌科细菌(aOR 8.734, 95%CI 1.411 - 54.077, = 0.02)、产KPC肠杆菌科细菌(aOR 8.548, 95%CI 1.296 - 56.411, = 0.026)、产金属β-内酰胺酶(MBL)肠杆菌科细菌(aOR 15.802, 95%CI 1.408 - 68.667, = 0.022)和CR-NFGNB(aOR 53.373, 95%CI 5.104 - 89.146, <0.001)在内的MDR-GNB与30天死亡率独立相关。MDR-GNB导致的死亡率为43%。根据致病病原体,ESBL导致的归因死亡率为33%,KPC为32%,MBL为47%,CR-NFGNB为73%。
在癌症患者中,与敏感GNB所致BSI相比,MDR-GNB所致BSI与更高的死亡率相关。迫切需要采取策略减少MDR-GNB的传播并促进对受影响患者的优化管理。
