Predictors of Adverse Outcome in Cancer Patients with Candidemia
Abstract
Background Many factors, including severity of illness, neutropenia, intravenous catheter management, and drug therapy may affect the outcome of candidemia in cancer patients.Methods The records of all patients at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center who developed one or more positive blood cultures for Candida spp between January 1, 1988, and December 31, 1992, were retrospectively reviewed. Four hundred ninety-one episodes of candidemia were identified, for which 476 had complete medical records, which were reviewed in detail.Results By 3-month follow-up, 52% of the patients had died. Neutropenia, higher APACHE III score, and visceral dissemination were associated with poor prognosis. Cure rates, adjusted for severity of illness, were similar for fluconazole and amphotericin B treatment. Exchange of central venous catheters was associated with a modest improvement in prognosis.Conclusion Several factors that influence the outcome of candidemia in cancer patients have been identified. These factors may be relevant for the clinical management of cancer patients with candidemia, and for the design of therapeutic trials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
