PEREZ-GARCIA, A. et al. Predictors of mortality and poor outcome in cancer patients with E. faecium bloodstream infection. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2015, vol.38, n.1, pp.71-77. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1137-66272015000100008.
Background. To analyze predictors of mortality and poor outcome in cancer patients diagnosed with E. faecium bloodstream infection. Methods. Demographic, clinical and microbiological data were collected (January 1998-June 2011). Results. After multivariate analysis, presence of a urinary catheter was associated with a worse 7-day prognosis, and higher mortality at discharge. A high Charlson index was also associated with higher 7-day mortality. Conclusion. Presence of a urinary catheter was associated with poor 7-day prognosis and higher mortality at discharge in the present series.
