The pitt bacteremia score predicts mortality in nonbacteremic infections
Clinical Infectious Diseases Apr 18, 2020
Henderson H, Luterbach CL, Cober E, et al. - Researchers ascertained whether the bacteremia score (PBS) prognosticates 14-day inpatient mortality in nonbacteremia carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections. A prospective, multicenter, observational study was designed to select individuals from the Consortium on Resistance Against Carbapenems in Klebsiella and Other Enterobacteriaceae. Risk ratios were calculated to examine the predictive ability of the PBS overall and each of its components individually. There were 475 patients who included in this study. Results confirmed that the PBS and qPitt score can be applied as reliable prognosticators of mortality in nonbacteremia CRE infections.
