神经损伤患者呼吸机相关性肺炎的微生物学特征：一项多中心队列研究

Abstract

Incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is increased in patients admitted for brain injury. Staphylococcus aureus appears to be a particularly common pathogen in these respiratory infections. Our aim was to confirm the extent of S. aureus involvement in VAP among patients with neurological injuries. We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study including patients with and without neurological injuries who developed VAP during their ICU stay. Among 15 702 patients admitted in the participant centers during the study period. 407 were finally included in the study. S. aureus was involved in 122 (61.6%) VAP in brain-injured patients and 63 (30.1%) of non-brain-injured patients. In brain-injured patients, multivariate analysis identified age (0.97 [0.95; 0.98]), antibioprophylaxis (0.31 [0.18; 0.53]; p < 0.0001), subarachnoid hemorrhage (2.18 [1.01; 4.68]; p=0.0461), lower Glasgow coma score (0.92 [0.87; 0.97]; p= 0.004) and SAPS II (0.98 [0.97; 1]; p=0.0174) as critical factors associated with the risk of S. aureus in VAP. In the non-brain-injured population, multivariate analysis identified antibioprophylaxis (0.38 [0.22; 0.65]; p=0.0006), age (0.96 [0.95; 0.98]; p<0.0001), SAPS II (0.98 [0.97; 1]; p=0.0265), thoracic surgery (0.21 [0.09; 0.48]; p=0.0002) and peripheral neurosurgery (1.95 [1.2; 3.19]; p=0.0076) as critical factors. A total of 172 patients (42.3%) died during their ICU stay and 90-days mortality was 194 (47.7%). No difference of mortality was noticed function of VAP-associated pathogen.
