Risk Factors for 30-Day Mortality in Patients with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Bloodstream Infections

Highlights • The aim of this study was to identify risk factors associated with 30-day mortality in patients with MRSA BSI. • 1,168 patients with confirmed MRSA BSI were identified over a 9-year period in which 30-day all-cause mortality was 16%. • There was no significant variability in 30-day mort...

Description
Summary:Highlights • The aim of this study was to identify risk factors associated with 30-day mortality in patients with MRSA BSI. • 1,168 patients with confirmed MRSA BSI were identified over a 9-year period in which 30-day all-cause mortality was 16%. • There was no significant variability in 30-day mortality over our 9-year study period. • Our study showed that age, cancer, heart disease, neurologic disease, nursing home residence and Charlson score >3 are risk factors for 30-day mortality in patients with MRSA BSI. • Diabetes, PVD and readmission because of infection have statistically significant protective effects on 30-day mortality
