ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections are increasingly common among solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, leading to challenges in the selection of empiric antimicrobial therapy. We sought to develop a clinical tool to predict which SOT recipients are at high risk for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales (EB) bloodstream infection (BSI).METHODS:
A multicenter case-control study was performed. The source population included SOT recipients with an EB BSI between 2005 and 2018. Cases were those with ESBL-EB BSI; controls were those with non-ESBL EB BSI. The population was subdivided into derivation and validation cohorts based on study site. The predictive tool was developed in the derivation cohort through iterative multivariable logistic regression analyses that maximized the area under the receiver-operating curve (AUC). External validity was assessed using the validation cohort.RESULTS:
A total of 897 SOT recipients with an EB BSI were included, of which 539 were assigned to the derivation cohort (135, 25% ESBL-EB) and 358 to the validation cohort (221, 62% ESBL-EB). Using multivariable analyses, the most parsimonious model that was predictive of ESBL-EB BSI consisted of 10 variables, which fell into four clinical categories prior colonization or infection with EB organisms, recent antimicrobial exposures, severity of preceding illness, and immunosuppressive regimen. This model achieved an AUC of 0.81 in the derivation cohort and 0.68 in the validation cohort.CONCLUSIONS:
Though further refinements are needed in additional populations, this tool shows promise for guiding empiric therapy for SOT recipients with EB BSI.Palabras clave
