Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate trends and risk factors of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) among different age groups, particularly older adults, in French ICUs from 2007 to 2014.
- A total of 206,223 adult patients were included, with 134,510 being intubated, and they were categorized into young (18-64), old (65-74), and very old (75+).
- Results indicated that VAP incidence was lower in the very old group compared to the young group, but certain drug-resistant bacteria were more prevalent in the very old, and VAP incidence decreased over time primarily in younger and older adults. *
Objective: Candidaemia is a life-threatening infectious disease, associated with septic shock, multiple organ failure, and a high mortality rate. In France, reported data on the incidence of ICU-acquired candidaemia and the causative Candida species are scarce. The objective of this study was to determine temporal trends in epidemiology and risk factors of intensive care unit-acquired candidaemia (ICU-Cand) and ICU mortality among a very large population of ICU patients.

Method: Retrospective follow-up of reported BBFE in French healthcare facilities on a voluntary basis from 2003 to 2012 with a focus on those enrolled every year from 2008 to 2012 (stable cohort 2008-12).
Findings: Reported BBFE incidence rate per 100 beds decreased from 7.
