description | BACKGROUND: Nowadays, carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infection has been spreading worldwide in a tertiary care hospital and causing globally health damage. In Thailand, the studies of the epidemiology of CRE are scarce. This study aimed to describe epidemiology, clinical characteristics and treatment outcome of CRE infection. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among patients admitted to the Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital between January 2014 and December 2016 who had clinical diagnosis of CRE infection. Characteristics between groups were compared using Chi-square, Fisher exact test or Student t-test, Mann–Whitney U test. Factors associated with mortality in univariate analysis were analyzed in the logistic regression model. RESULTS: Among 241 patients who had clinical specimens grew CRE, 51 had infection. Twenty-five patients (49%) were previously hospitalized within 90 days and 42 patients (82.4%) had exposed to antibiotics before documented CRE infection. The most common sites of clinical isolates were urine (33.3%), sputum (29.4%), and blood (21.6%). The mortality rate was 47.1%, which 17 (33.3%) patients’ death was attributable to CRE infection. Factor associated with mortality was higher body temperature (OR 4.8, P = 0.005) and thrombocytopenia. CONCLUSION: CRE infections cause high mortality. Strategies to prevent emergence through prudent uses of antibiotics and transmission through infection control measures should be implemented in order to reduce mortality. DISCLOSURES: All authors: No reported disclosures. |
