Bloodstream Infections in COVID-19 Positive and COVID-19 Negative Patient Groups Followed Up in the Intensive Care Unit: Case-Control Study

Öz

Aim: Bloodstream infections are one of the most important problems we encounter in patients followed up in intensive care units. In our study, we aimed to comparatively examine the demographic characteristics and bacteremia epidemiology of patients who were followed up for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) positivity or other reasons in the intensive care units. Material and Methods: 192 cases (>18 age) whose blood cultures were studied were included in the study. The blood culture results of a total of 60 cases, 30 of which were positive for COVID-19 in the study group and 30 were negative for COVID-19 in the control group, were examined. Results: Thirteen (43.3%) of the patients in the case group were female, 17 (56.7%) were male, and the mean age of the group was 63.8±19 (22-88). In the control group, 15 (50%) were female, 15 (50%) were male, and the mean age of the group was 76.1±17.6 (48-92). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of sex (p=0.605), comorbid conditions (excluding sepsis (p=0.005)), the number of isolates produced (p=0.260), the amount of blood culture set (p=0.118), bacteremia risk factors and mortality rates (p=0.612). However, there were differences in mean age (p=0.000), skin contamination (p=0.028) and prednisolone treatment (p=0.000). Conclusion: The risk of bloodstream infection in patients hospitalized in the intensive care units due to COVID-19 is not different from the group of patients hospitalized for non-COVID-19 reasons.
