Article Synopsis
- This study examined how common carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) infections and colonizations are in intensive care unit (ICU) patients and what factors contribute to their presence at admission and during the hospital stay.
- Conducted across 24 ICUs in Anhui, China, the research involved screening patients and applying statistical analysis to identify risk factors linked to CRE colonization/infection.
- Findings revealed that 5.9% of patients had CRE at admission and 8.5% acquired it during their ICU stay, with several identified risk factors including prior hospital transfers, recent antibiotic exposure, and prolonged ICU stays.
