Jarrell AS, et al. - In this study, researchers compared characteristics of patients who survived to hospital discharge with those of non-survivors in a cohort of critically ill surgical patients who had a carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), multidrug-resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa, or MDR Acinetobacter spp. infection. In study participants, an association was evident, between MDR Gram-negative infection and significant in-hospital mortality. In addition, important predictors of survival included source control, along with prior ICU LOS and mechanical ventilation status.
