Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the changing patterns of infection caused by Candida species in urban medical centers and its influence on patient outcomes A retrospective cohort study design will be employed with the main outcome measure being hospital mortality Secondary outcomes including microbiologic clearance of the infection duration of hospitalization and the intensive care unit ICU length of stay will also be assessed
Detailed Description:
The following information that was collected as part of the patients clinical treatment will be collected age sex occupation hospital location at the time of positive culture ER medical ward ICU etc prior hospitalization receipt of outpatient dialysis home care or other regular medical care eg outpatient chemotherapy presence of invasive devices receipt of antibiotics including their type and whether they were adequate for the resistance profile of the organism prior positive microbiologic cultures time and location of positive cultures underlying diseases and severity of illness presence of urinary or intravascular devices recent immunomodulative therapies or radiation therapy physical exam findings laboratory and radiographical data antimicrobial usage within 30 days of onset of the infection microbiological data and resistance patterns choice of antibiotics once organism identified bacteriological outcomes laboratory results demographic information medications clinical outcome gender height weight ethnicity and past medical history We will collect information retrospectively
