Delaying the Empiric Treatment of Candida Bloodstream Infection until Positive Blood Culture Results Are Obtained: a Potential Risk Factor for Hospital Mortality
Open accessAbstract
Fungal bloodstream infections are associated with significant patient mortality and health care costs. Nevertheless, the relationship between a delay of the initial empiric antifungal treatment until blood culture results are known and the clinical outcome is not well established. A retrospective cohort analysis with automated patient medical records and the pharmacy database at Barnes-Jewish Hospital was conducted. One hundred fifty-seven patients with a Candida bloodstream infection were identified over a 4-year period (January 2001 through December 2004). Fifty (31.8%) patients died during hospitalization. One hundred thirty-four patients had empiric antifungal treatment begun after the results of fungal cultures were known. From the time that the first blood sample for culture that was positive was drawn, 9 (5.7%) patients received antifungal treatment within 12 h, 10 (6.4%) patients received antifungal treatment between 12 and 24 h, 86 (54.8%) patients received antifungal treatment between 24 and 48 h, and 52 (33.1%) patients received antifungal treatment after 48 h. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores (one-point increments) (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.18 to 1.31; P < 0.001), prior antibiotic treatment (AOR, 4.05; 95% CI, 2.14 to 7.65; P = 0.028), and administration of antifungal treatment 12 h after having the first positive blood sample for culture (AOR, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.53 to 2.84; P = 0.018) as independent determinants of hospital mortality. Administration of empiric antifungal treatment 12 h after a positive blood sample for culture is drawn is common among patients with Candida bloodstream infections and is associated with greater hospital mortality. Delayed treatment of Candida bloodstream infections could be minimized by the development of more rapid diagnostic techniques for the identification of Candida bloodstream infections. Alternatively, increased use of empiric antifungal treatment in selected patients at high risk for fungal bloodstream infection could also reduce delays in treatment.

“Finally, in a study of 10,811 patients treated in four Utah hospitals, each hour delay in time from ED arrival to administration of antimicrobials was associated with 1.16 increased odds of in-hospital and 1.10 increased odds of 1-year mortality (1.13 in patients with hypotension vs 1.09 in patients without hypotension) (111).”

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.
