What is Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia Bacteremia in Children: Risk Factors and Mortality Rate about?

## Abstract ## Purpose Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) is an opportunistic and nosocomial pathogen that can cause an invasive and fatal infection, particularly in hospitalized and immunocompromised patients. However, little is known about the impact of S. maltophilia bacteremia in pediatric patients. Therefore, we aimed to identify risk factors for mortality, antibiotics susceptibility to S. maltophilia, and mortality rates in pediatric patients with S. maltophilia bacteremia. ## Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study by identifying all S. maltophilia positive blood cultures in the microbiology laboratory database between January 2007 and December 2018 from hospitalized pediatric patients (age 1–14 years). After identifying patients with S. maltophilia bacteremia, medical charts were reviewed for demographics, clinical data, and outcomes within seven days of bacteremia diagnosis. Risk factors associated with mortality in S. maltophilia bacteremia patients were determined using univariate and multivariate analyses. ## Findings Sixty-eight pediatric patients with S. maltophilia bacteremia were identified. All infections were nosocomial infections, and (88.2%)
