ABSTRACT
This research aimed to determine the relationships between the risk factors for nosocomial multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) bacteremia and associated mortality. We analyzed 144 patients treated for A. baumannii bacteremia, including 120 patients with MDRAB bacteremia, from March 2015 to March 2020, in this retrospective study. The overall bacteremia-related mortality rate was 48.6%. The mortality rates were 25.0% and 53.3% for non-MDRAB and MDRAB bacteremia, respectively. Risk factors for the development of MDRAB bacteremia were prior use of cephalosporins [odds ratio (OR) 8.62; P < .001], carbapenems (OR 15.04; P < .001), or quinolones (OR 5.02; P = .040); indwelling urinary catheters (OR 21.38; P < .001); and respiratory tract as the source of bacteremia (OR 75.33; P < .001). Patients with elective surgeries were inclined to develop non-MDRAB bacteremia (OR 0.45; P = .029). High scores in the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (OR 1.321; P < .001) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (OR 1.326; P < .001) were risk factors for mortality from MDRAB infection. In summary, higher mortality rates occur in patients with MDRAB bacteremia, and risk factors include prior use of cephalosporins, carbapenems, or quinolones. Urinary catheters and the respiratory tract as sources of the infection increase the risk of MDRAB bacteremia.
