Brief Summary:
This study examines the clinical outcomes and healthcare costs associated with gram negative bacteremia at Duke University Medical Center from 2002-2015.
Detailed Description:
Specific Aim 1: Define the clinical impact of gram negative bacterial (GNB) bloodstream infections (BSI). In this objective, the investigators will describe the prevalence, source of bacteremia, and location of acquisition (i.e., community-acquired, healthcare-associated, hospital-acquired) of GNB BSI. The investigators will also examine the outcomes associated with GNB BSI including length of hospital stay, length of ICU stay, in-house mortality, and hospital costs.
Specific Aim 2: Describe antibiotic resistance patterns in GNB BSI, and explore associations between antibiotic resistance and clinical and economic outcomes. In this objective, the investigators will describe the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility profiles of multidrug resistant phenotypes including MDR bacteria, which are defined by resistance to three or more drug classes, ESBL-producers, and CRE. The investigators will examine the differences in mortality, resource use (length of hospital stay, length of ICU stay), and direct medical costs between cases with and without antibiotic resistance.
