What is A41. CRITICAL CARE: PREDICTING AND MEASURING OUTCOMES - Epidemiology and Risk Factors for Mortality in Patients Admitted to the ICUs with Urosepsis about?

Rationale Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the leading sources of sepsis or septic shock in intensive care units (ICU). Most of the urosepsis were caused by Enterobacteriaceae. With the emerging prevalence of multidrug-resistant pathogens, treatment for urosepsis has become challenging. However, the epidemiology data of urosepsis is lacking, and the risk factors for mortality is unclear. Methods We conducted a multicenter, retrospective cohort study in three hospitals in Taiwan. Patients admitted to the medical ICUs with microbiology-proven urosepsis during 2010-2016 were included. Patients with significant coinfections were excluded. Clinical information and microbiology data including drug resistance were collected. We use multivariable logistic regression to identify risk factors associated with ICU mortality. Results During the study period, 1024 patients admitted to ICUs with positive urine culture (> 105 CFU/mL) were screened. We excluded 566 patients with clinically significant coinfections, 58 patients with candidemia, and 26 patients without antibiotic treatment from analysis. Among the 412 patients admitted to ICUs with urosepsis, 262 (63.6%) were female, 337 (81.8
