Bacteremia in Patients with Sepsis in the ICU: Does It Make a Difference?

Original language description

Sepsis (and septic shock) is on of the most common causes of death worldwide. Bacteremia often, but not necessarily, occurs in septic patients, but the impact of true bacteremia on a patient’s clinical characteristics and outcome remains unclear. The main aim of this study was to compare the characteristics and outcome of a well-defined cohort of 258 septic patients with and without bacteremia treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary center hospital in Prague, Czech Republic. As expected, more frequently, bacteremia was present in patients without previous antibiotic treatment. A higher proportion of bacteremia was observed in patients with infective endocarditis as well as catheter-related and soft tissue infections in contrast to respiratory sepsis. Multivariant analysis showed increased severity of clinical status and higher Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) as variables with significant influence on mortality. Bacteremia appears to be associated with higher mortality rates and length of ICU stay in comparison with nonbacteremic counterparts, but this difference did not reach statistical significance. The presence of bacteremia, apart from previous antibiotic treatment, may be related to the site of infection.
