ABSTRACT
To study the potential risk factors associated with mortality in patients with mucormycosis. A retrospective study of 490 patients with diagnosis of sinonasal mucormycosis was done. They were divided in two groups-Group A included 87 patients that expired during the study period and Group B included 403 control patients. All the demographic, clinical and outcome parameters were collected from the patient's record files and noted in a structured case proforma and were analysed. During the mean hospital stay of 22 ± 6 days, 17.7% patients expired during the treatment course. Multiple risk factors like uncontrolled diabetes, dyselectrolytemia, underlying renal disease and extensive nature of the disease involving orbit, intracranium and with pulmonary dissemination, all were associated with high mortality in Mucormycosis. Early recognition and appropriate management of the secondary factors can grossly reduce the risk of mortality in patients with mucormycosis.
