External validation of ID-BactER and Shapiro scores for predicting bacteraemia in the emergency department.

Introduction: The blood culture positivity rate in the emergency department (ED) is <20%; however, the mortality associated with Community-acquired bacteraemia (CAB) is as high as 37.8%. For this reason, several models have been developed to predict blood culture positivity for the diagnosis of CAB.

Short-term usual-term antibiotic treatment for uncomplicated bacteremia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Uncomplicated bacteremia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Current guidelines recommend a minimum of 14 days of treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of short usual antibiotic therapy in adults with uncomplicated .

Impact of urinary catheter on resistance patterns and clinical outcomes on complicated urinary tract infection.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) is highly prevalent and costly for health systems. The impact of the indwelling urinary catheter on etiologic agents and clinical outcomes has been poorly studied in Latin America.

Methods: Cross-sectional study including patients with cUTI, with positive urine culture, treated at Hospital Universitario San Ignacio, Bogotá (Colombia) between 2017 and 2020.

The nutrition risk index is associated with bacteremia within 30 days after autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma.

Objectives: To assess whether the nutrition risk index (NRI) is associated with the risk of bacteremia within the first days after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).

Materials And Methods: Retrospective cohort study of adult patients with MM taken to ASCT at the Hospital Universitario San Ignacio (Bogotá, Colombia) between 2005 and 2019. The outcome of interest was the incidence of bacteremia at 30 days.
