Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics, antibiotic resistance and prognostic risk factors of patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infection (Kp BSI).Methods:The clinical data of 188 patients diagnosed with Kp BSI from January 1，2017 to December 1，2021 in Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.There were 118 patients males (62.8%) with a median age 77.0(63.0, 85.0) years old. The median length of hospital stay was 20.0 days, and 78 patients (41.5%) were admitted to intensive care unit(ICU). There were 121 cases with carbapenem-sensitive Klebsiella pneumoniae (64.4%, CSKP group) and 67 cases with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (35.6%, CRKP group).Fifty six patients died within 28 days after admission (death group), and 132 patients survived (survival group).The clinical characteristics and bacterial drug resistance of Kp BSI patients were analyzed, and univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to explore factors related to the CRKP infection and patient mortality.Results:The most common infection sites were respiratory system, abdominal cavity and biliary tract accounting for 39.4% (74/188), 18.1% (34/188) and 14.4% (27/188), respectively.The common comorbidities were coronary heart disease, hypertension, chronic kidney disease and diabetes, accounting for 63.8% (120/188), 59.6% (112/188), 46.3% (87/188) and 43.1% (81/188), respectively and 118 patients (62.8%) had 3 or more comorbidities. Most patients (146 cases, 77.7%) underwent ≥1 invasive procedures before bloodstream infection;and 90 patients (47.9%) had a history of antibiotic use. CRKP strains showed higher resistance rates to piperacillin, quinolones, cephalosporins and carbapenems. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in age (69.0 vs. 83.0 years), ICU admission 25.6%(31/121) vs. 70.1%(47/67)], invasive procedures [67.8%(82/121) vs. 95.5 %(64/67)], and antibiotic use [37.2% (45/121) vs. 67.2%(45/67)] between the CSKP group and the CRKP group ( Z=-5.73, χ 2=35.22, χ 2=19.15, χ 2=15.53, all P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, ICU admission, invasive procedures and antibiotic use in recent 30 days were independent risk factors for CRKP infection( OR=1.06, P<0.001; OR=3.22, P=0.003; OR=5.93, P=0.009; OR=2.40, P=0.022). The total fatality rate was 29.8%(56/188). Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in CRKP infection [19.7%(26/132) vs. 73.2% (41/56)], albumin level (32.6 vs. 27.8 g/L) and sequential organ failure assessment score (SOFA score, 2 vs. 8 score) between the survival group and the death group (χ 2=49.10, Z=-4.64, Z=-10.36,all P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that CRKP infection, low albumin and high SOFA score on the day of bloodstream infection were risk factors for death of Kp BSI patients( OR=5.13, P=0.021; OR=0.86, P=0.044; OR=3.04, P<0.001). Conclusion:Kp BSI patients have a high fatality rate and fairly severe drug resistance. CRKP infection, low albumin, high SOFA score on the day of bloodstream infection are associated with poor prognosis in Kp BSI patients.
