Abstract

Fungal infection is increasingly common in critical illness with severe sepsis, but the influence of invasive fungal infection (IFI) on severe sepsis is not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact that IFI has on the outcomes of critically ill surgical patients with severe sepsis in China by means of matched cohort analysis; we also evaluated the epidemiologic characteristics of IFI in this population. Records for all admissions to 10 university hospital surgical intensive care units (ICUs) from December 2004 to November 2005 were reviewed. Patients who met criteria for severe sepsis were included. IFI was identified using established criteria based on microbiologic or histological evidence. A matched cohort study was conducted to analyze the relationship between IFI and outcomes of severe sepsis. A total of 318 patients with severe sepsis were enrolled during the study period, of whom 90 (28.3%) were identified as having IFI. A total of 100 strains of fungi (58% Candida albicans) were isolated from these patients. Independent risk factors for IFI in patients with severe sepsis included mechanical ventilation (>3 days), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation score, coexisting infection with ...Continue Reading
