Abstract
Bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are associated with a high mortality rate. This study aimed to investigate factors associated with 14-day mortality and identify a potential treatment option. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with CRE-BSI in Thailand from 2015 to 2020. The multivariate Cox proportional-hazards model was employed to identify factors influencing 14-day mortality. Out of 134 diagnosed cases of CRE-BSI, the all-cause 14-day mortality rate was 35.1%. The most prevalent organism isolated was Klebsiella pneumoniae (85.8%), followed by Escherichia coli (11.9%). Among the 60 isolates tested for carbapenemase genes, the majority exhibited co-occurring blaNDM-1 and blaOXA-48 (51.7%), followed by blaOXA-48 (31.7%) and blaNDM-1 (15.0%). In the multivariate analysis, neutropenia (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 2.55; 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 1.28–5.06; p = 0.008), sepsis/septic shock (aHR 3.02; 95%CI 1.33–6.86; p = 0.008), and previous metronidazole exposures (aHR 3.58; 95%CI 1.89–6.71; p < 0.001) were identified as independent factors for 14-day mortality. The fosfomycin-based regimen was found to be protective (aHR 0.37; 95%CI 0.15–0.92; p = 0.032). In patients with CRE-BSI, particularly in regions with a high occurrence of co-occurring blaNDM-1 and blaOXA-48, neutropenia, sepsis/septic shock, and previous metronidazole exposures emerged as independent risk factors for mortality. Moreover, the fosfomycin-based regimen showed an improvement in the survival rate.
