Article Synopsis
- This study focused on understanding how often Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are acquired by inpatients with resistance to 3rd generation cephalosporins in a hospital in Lebanon, while also creating a risk prediction score for such acquisitions.
- Researchers compared two groups of patients: those infected with carbapenem-resistant strains (cases) and those with carbapenem-sensitive strains (controls), utilizing statistical analysis tools to identify significant risk factors.
- Key findings showed that the rate of CRE acquisition rose over time, with specific conditions like cerebrovascular disease and chronic wounds significantly increasing the risk of acquiring resistant strains.
