RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Characteristics and outcome of invasive fungal infection (IFI) in critically ill burn patients have been poorly explored. OBJECTIVES: We report the factors associated with 90-day mortality in a multicentre retrospective European study. PATIENTS/METHODS: All burn patients with confirmed IFI admitted between 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2015 in 10 centres in France and Belgium were included. RESULTS: Ninety-four patients were enrolled with 110 cases of IFIs: 79 (71.8%) were yeasts IFI and 31 (28.2%) filamentous IFI. Incidence was 1% among admitted patients. The 90-day mortality was 37.2% for all IFIs combined, 52% for filamentous infection and 31.9% for yeast infection. Patients with more than one IFI had a higher 90-day mortality than patients with only one episode (61.5% vs 33.5% (P = .006)). In multivariate analysis, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (OR = 1.05 (95% CI: 1.02-1.09) P = .003), bacterial co-infection (OR = 3.85 (95% CI: 1.23-12.01), P = .014) and use of skin allografts at the time of IFI diagnosis (OR = 3.87 (95% CI: 1.31-11.42), P = .021) were associated with 90-day mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Although rare, invasive fungal infections remain associated with poor outcome in burn patients. Bacterial co-infection and presence of allograft were potentially modifiable factors independently associated with outcome.

Aims: Opioid-reduced anesthesia (ORA) was suggested to decrease morphine consumption after adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery and incidence of chronic pain. Materials & methods: A prospective analysis using the ORA in AIS surgery was performed. Two cohorts were compared: a control group (opioid-based anesthesia) and the ORA group. The main outcome was morphine consumption at day 1. Results: 33 patients operated for AIS using ORA were compared with 36 with opioid-based anesthesia. Morphine consumption was decreased in the ORA group (1.1 mg.kg-1 [0.2-2] vs 0.8 mg.kg-1 [0.3-2]; p = 0.02) at day 1. Persistent neuropathic pain at 1 year was decreased in the ORA group (p = 0.02). Conclusion: The ORA protocol is efficient to reduce postoperative morphine consumption in AIS surgery and preventing neuropathic pain.
