Objective To explore the bloodstream infection of refractory drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(DTR-PA)patients with clinical characteristics and risk factors.Methods Clinical data of patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2017 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the independent risk factors for DTR-PA bloodstream infection.Cox proportional hazards regression was used to explore the risk factors related to the death of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream in-fection.Results A total of 114 patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infection were enrolled,with an average age of(51.05±17.55)years.The 28 d mortality was 14.0%(16/114),and 24 patients(21.1%,24/114)had DTR-PA.Age,ICU admission,diabetes,hypoproteinemia and septic shock were associ-ated with DTR-PA bloodstream infection(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that septic shock was an independent risk factor for DTR-PA bloodstream infection(P<0.05).ICU admission was an independent risk factor for the death of patients with DTR-PA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa blood-stream infection(P<0.05).Conclusion There are many risk factors for DTR-PA bloodstream infection.Septic shock and ICU admission are independent risk factors for DTR-PA bloodstream infection and death,respectively.
