Risk Factors of Invasive Fungal Infection in Respiratory Ward: A Retrospective Case Control Study

Objective To explore the risk factors of invasive fungal infection ( IFI) in respiratory ward. Methods A multi-center, retrospective, case-control study was carried out. Patients from five general hospitals in Chongqing city, diagnosed as fungal infection, or whose respiratory specimens were fungal positive, were retrospectively screened for IFI. Patients with respiratory infection and colonization of nonfungal cases in the same period of hospitalization were enrolled as control. Results Thirty-four patients diagnosed with IFI and 50 patients diagnosed with bacterial infection were analyzed for the risk factors of IFI. The demographic characteristics of patients including age and gender were not different( P gt; 0. 05) , but hospitalization days, carbapenem antibiotic use, chemotherapy, deep venous catheterization, total parenteralnutrition( TPN) , neutropenia, and renal disfunction were different significantly between the IFI group and the control group. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that carbapenem antibiotic use ( OR = 6. 753) ,central venous catheterization ( OR = 5. 021) and TPN ( OR = 3. 199) were main risk factors of invasive fungal infection. Conclusion The carbapenem antibiotic use, central venous catheterization and TPN are risk factors for IFI in respiratory ward.

Clinical characteristics and pathogen distribution of patients with community-acquired pneumonia and type 2 diabetes mellitus

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and pathogen distribution of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), based on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) test. Methods In this cross-sectional study, CAP patients with BALF mNGS test were screened from April 2023 to April 2024. The patients were divided into a single CAP group (CAP group) and a CAP combine with T2DM group (CAP+T2DM group). The data of demographics, underlying diseases, complications, and laboratory tests including blood routine, inflammatory parameters, liver and renal functions, random blood glucose (RGB), hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), and BALF mNGS tests were collected and compared between the two groups. Results Ultimately, 86 patients were included, with 45 in the CAP group and 41 in the CAP+T2DM group. Compared with the CAP group, the CAP+T2DM group had higher platelet count [(272.44±128.57)×109/L vs. (215.00±100.06)×109/L], erythrocyte sedimentation rate [(75.63±35.19) vs. (59.69±34.47) mm/h], RGB [10.8 (9.1, 13.5) vs. 6.5 (5.8, 7.8) mmol/L], HbA1c [8.2% (7.3%, 8.5%) vs. 5.7% (5.5%, 6.1%)], and fungi infection rate (65.9% vs. 40.0%), and the differences were statistically significant between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion CAP patients with T2DM have increased levels of platelet and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and are at higher risk for fungi infection, which potentially leads to worse outcome.

A nomogram for predicting secondary pulmonary fungal infection in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Objective To investigate the risk factors for secondary pulmonary fungal infection in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). And a visual tool using nomogram was developed and validated to assist in the clinical prediction of the probability of pulmonary fungal infection occurrence in AECOPD patients. Methods A retrospective cohort study method was used to collect AECOPD patients hospitalized in the Department of Respiratory, The First Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College from January 2021 to December 2021 as a training set. And AECOPD patients between January 2020 and December 2020 were collected as a validation set. Independent risk factors were determined through univariate, Lasso regression analyses. and multivariable logistic, A nomogram prediction model was constructed with these independent risk factors, and the nomogram was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results The use of glucocorticoid, combined use of antibiotics, duration of antibiotic use and hypoalbuminemia were independent risk factors for secondary pulmonary fungal infection in AECOPD patients (all P<0.05). The training set and validation set of the constructed prediction model had an AUC value of 0.915 [95%CI: 0.891 - 0.940] and 0.830 [95%CI: 0.790 - 0.871], respectively. The calibration curve showed that the predicted probability was in good agreement with the actual observed probability of pulmonary fungal infection in AECOPD patients. The corresponding decision curve analysis (DCA) indicated the nomogram had relatively ideal clinical utility. Conclusions The result showed that the use of glucocorticoid, combined use of antibiotics, prolonged antibiotic therapy and hypoalbuminemia was independent risk factors for pulmonary fungal infection in AECOPD patients. The clinical prediction model for secondary pulmonary fungal infection in AECOPD patients constructed in this study has strong predictive power and clinical practicability.

Risk Factors for Fungal Infection in Adult Recipients Following Living Donor Liver Transplantation

Objective To analyze the risk factors associated with fungal infections in adult recipients after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Methods Data of 189 recipients from January 2006 to December 2012 who received LDLT at our center were retrospectively analyzed. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for postoperative fungal infections. Results Postoperative fungal infection was found in 12 recipients. The most common infectious site was lung, whereas the most common fungal pathogen was Candida albicans. Multivariate analysis suggested preoperative low albumin level [HR=0.792, 95%CI (0.694, 0.903), P=0.001], massive intraoperative red blood cell transfusion [HR=4.322, 95%CI (1.308, 14.277), P=0.016] and longer postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) stay [HR=3.399, 95%CI (1.004, 11.506), P=0.049] were the independent risk factors for postoperative fungal infections. Conclusions Lung is the most common fungal infection site after LDLT. Preoperative low albumin level, massive intraoperative red blood cell transfusion and longer postoperative ICU contribute to fungal infections after LDLT.
