Abstract:
Objective To explore the nutritional screening methods closely related to the burden of bloodstream infection(BSI)and provide recommendations for nutritional intervention in BSI patients.Methods A prospective cross-sectional survey was conducted to include confirmed cases of BSI who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were treated at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital,Capital Medical University from January 1,2021 to October 31,2023.The collected variables include demographic information such as age,gender,height,and weight,admission body mass index(BMI),admission nutrition risk screening 2002(NRS 2002)score,admission Barthel index(BI)score,serum albumin,as well as baseline disease,sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)score within 48 hours of ad-mission,ICU hospitalization days,total hospitalization days,hospitalization costs,and health outcomes for analysis.Results A total of 350 patients were included in the analysis,with an average age of 65.86±17.21 years.There were 204males(58.29％)and 279(79.71％)with underlying diseases.The source of infection was intravascular catheters,accounting for 8.57％(30 cases),and the first non-catheter related infection type was pneumonia,accounting for 66.57％(233 cases).The types of bacteria in blood culture were ba-cillus 181 cases(51.71％),staphylococcus 130 cases(37.14％),fungi 20 cases(5.71％),and mixed infections 19 cases(5.43％).Among the 350 patients,6.86％(24 cases)had low BMI at admission,NRS 2002scores indicated that 3.7％(13 cases)had severe nu-tritional risk,and 93.43％(327 cases)had low albumin level.At admission,the BI score showed that 53.43％(187 cases)had moder-ate to severe dependence.The SOFA score within 48hours of admission was 3(1,6)points;136 cases(38.86％)were admitted to the ICU,with the hospitalization time of 10.50(5.00,24.50)days.Mechanical ventilation accounted for 9.43％(33 cases),with an aver-age duration of 220(84,360)hours.The treatment outcome was 259 cases(74.00％)cured,28 cases(8.00％)had infection recur-rence or abandoned treatment,and 63 cases(18.00％)died.The total treatment cost during hospitalization was 547.36million yuan(287.21 million yuan,986.40million yuan).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the variables independently correlated with SOFA scores were the history of malignant tumors and BI score at admission,the variables independently correlated with health out-comes were the NRS 2002score at admission,and the variables independently correlated with medical expenses were hospitalization days(P＜0.05).Conclusion BSI is more common in the elderly people with underlying diseases and has a high proportion of ICU admis-sions.NRS 2002score and BI score at admission can effectively evaluate the prognosis and severity of BSI.Furthermore,clinicians need to conduct graded interventions based on the above scores to reduce the disease burden of these patients.
