%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>In this study we aimed to evaluate the postoperative safety of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for the treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM), and analyzed the risk factors and pathogen resistance associated with bloodstream infections.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>We retrospectively analyzed the incidence of postoperative bloodstream infections in 1500 patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC for PSM. We utilized univariate and multivariate analyses to screen for independent risk factors associated with postoperative bloodstream infections in CRS combined with HIPEC.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Among the 1500 cases of individuals undergoing CRS combined with HIPEC, 207 cases (13.8%) experienced bloodstream infections. A total of 233 strains of pathogens were isolated and cultured, consisting of 151 gram-positive cocci, 52 gram-negative bacilli, and 30 fungi. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (SCN) were the gram-positive cocci (54.94%), while Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. Pneumoniae (7.30%) and Escherichia coli (5.58%) dominated the Gram-negative bacilli. Candida albicans was the predominant fungus. Staphylococci exhibited high sensitivity to tigecycline, linezolid, vancomycin, and quinupristin/dalfopristin. However, K. pneumoniae and E. coli were resistant to imipenem. Furthermore, five parameters were associated with the development of bloodstream infections: age (P = 0.040), surgical history (P = 0.033), prior tumor treatment (P < 0.001), tumor tissue type (P = 0.034), and completeness of cytoreduction (CC) score (P = 0.004). Among these, age (P = 0.013), prior tumor treatment (P = 0.001), tumor tissue type (P = 0.032), and CC score (P = 0.002) emerged as independent risk factors for postoperative bloodstream infections in patients undergoing CRS combined with HIPEC.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Postoperative bloodstream infections in patients with PSM undergoing CRS combined with HIPEC are predominantly attributed to SCN, K. pneumoniae subsp. Pneumoniae, and C. albicans. Notably, Enterobacteriaceae exhibited resistance to carbapenem. Independent risk factors for postoperative infections in PSM include age, prior tumor treatment, tumor tissue type, and completeness of cytoreduction score.
