Methods:A ten-year retrospective study including 183 IC episodes was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Beijing, China.
Results:The overall incidence of IC from 2010-2019 was 0.261 episodes per 1,000 discharges. Candidemia (71.0%) was the major infective pattern; 70.3% of the patients tested positive for
