背景:在过去的二十年中,观察到艰难梭菌感染(CDI)的病例数显著增加.尝试确定可以预测感染过程严重程度的因素并确定有死亡风险的患者是可以理解的。本研究旨在分析2016-2018年弗罗茨瓦夫大学临床医院住院治疗中CDI发生率和死亡率的影响因素。
方法:对患者病历数据进行统计分析。只有通过实验室检查证实有感染和感染症状的患者被纳入研究。在分析死亡人数时,仅包括在医院病房死亡的成年患者。包括实验室测试在内的定量数据,使用的抗生素和营养风险筛查(NRS)进行评估。此外,定性数据,如性别,住院年份,入院时出现腹泻,其他疾病的存在,同时对住院期间抗菌药物或质子泵阻滞剂和雷尼替丁的使用情况进行分析。
结果:共纳入319名成人CDI患者(178名女性和141名男性),其中80人死亡(50名女性和30名男性)。患者的平均年龄为72.08±16.74岁。在整个研究期间,发病率为每100,000例住院174例,死亡率为25.08%.死亡患者组的特征是:年龄较大(由9.24岁),住院时间更长(10天),白蛋白水平降低(Rho=-0.235,p<0.001),尿素水平较高,使用更多的抗生素,NRS中营养不良的风险更高(Rho=0.219,p<0.001),脓毒症发病率较高,心力衰竭,中风,甲状腺功能减退。肺炎被诊断为两倍。研究还表明,死亡患者更有可能服用青霉素和氟喹诺酮类药物。
结论:在这项研究中,发病率较低,但与波兰同类医院相比,死亡率更高.CDI患者的特点是年龄较大,多浊度,延长住院时间,以及广谱抗生素的使用。死亡的危险因素包括高龄,住院时间延长,低白蛋白,高级尿素,营养不良,以及心力衰竭等合并症,中风,肺炎,脓毒症,和甲状腺功能减退。增加抗生素的使用,特别是青霉素和氟喹诺酮类药物,与较高的死亡风险相关。
BACKGROUND: In the last two decades, a significant increase in the number of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) cases has been observed. It is understandable to attempt to determine the factors that can predict the severity of the course of the infection and identify patients at risk of death. This
study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the incidence and mortality of CDI in inpatient treatment at the University Clinical Hospital in Wrocław in 2016-2018.
METHODS: Statistical analysis of data obtained from patients\' medical records was performed. Only patients with symptoms of infection and infection confirmed by laboratory tests were enrolled in the
study. When analyzing the number of deaths, only adult patients who died in hospital wards were included. The quantitative data including laboratory tests, used antibiotics and Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS) were assessed. Also, the qualitative data such as sex, year of hospitalization, occurrence of diarrhoea on admission to the hospital, presence of additional diseases, as wee ad the use of antibacterial drugs or proton pump blockers and ranitidine during hospitalization were analyzed.
RESULTS: A total of 319 adult CDI patients (178 women and 141 men) were enrolled of which 80 people died (50 women and 30 men). The mean age of the patients was 72.08 ± 16.74 years. Over the entire period studied, the morbidity was 174 cases per 100,000 hospitalizations while mortality was 25.08%. The group of deceased patients was characterized by: older age (by 9.24 years), longer duration of hospitalization (by 10 days), reduced albumin levels (Rho = -0.235, p < 0.001), higher urea levels, use of more antibiotics, higher risk of malnutrition in NRS (Rho = 0.219, p < 0.001), higher incidence of sepsis, heart failure, stroke, hypothyroidism. Pneumonia was diagnosed twice as often. It was also shown that deceased patients were significantly more likely to take penicillin and fluoroquinolones.
CONCLUSIONS: In this
study, the morbidity was lower, but mortality was higher compared to similar hospitals in Poland. CDI patients were characterized by older age, multimorbidity, extended hospitalization, and the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Risk factors for death included advanced age, prolonged hospital stays, lower albumin, higher urea, malnutrition, and comorbidities like heart failure, stroke, pneumonia, sepsis, and hypothyroidism. Increased antibiotic use, particularly penicillin and fluoroquinolones, was associated with a higher mortality risk.
