Development and validation of the INCREMENT-ESBL predictive score for mortality in patients with bloodstream infections due to extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae

Abstract: We developed and validated an easy-to-collect predictive scoring model for all-cause 30 day mortality useful for identifying patients at high and low risk of mortality.

“…Another old antibiotic is fosfomycin that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis [6]. In Turkey, colistin is used for the treatment of the multidrugresistant strains of CRE by either monotherapy or combination therapy [7]. Although the intravenous formulation of fosfomycin (fosfomycin disodium) is not available in Turkey, its use in the treatment of CRE has been reported to be quite safe [8].…”

“…34 Another study showed no difference in readmission rates between methicillin-sensitive and MRSA when adjusting for other comorbidities and severity of illness. 35 In the context of our study, it is important to recognize that our patients were likely at high risk of readmission due to their high baseline severity of illness and their infections. Because we did not include a group of patients with non-MDRO infections as a comparator, the impact of drug resistance on readmission rates cannot be deduced from the present study.…”

“…First, patients with bloodstream infections caused by ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae are more likely to receive inappropriate empiric antibiotics compared with patients with infections caused by susceptible strains. Inappropriate empiric treatment for bloodstream infections caused by ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae is an independent risk factor for mortality [15], and we could assume that patients who survived would have more organ dysfunction, which could prolong LOS. Second, patients with bloodstream infections caused by ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae have more serious illnesses and/or comorbidities, which would lead to higher mortality, and when patients survive the episode, to a longer LOS compared with patients with susceptible bacteremia.…”
