Key Points

This research aims to identify predictors of mortality in Enterococcus faecium bloodstream infections.
Conducted a retrospective analysis over five years at Padua University Hospital.
Examined the influence of host and disease-specific factors on mortality.
Assessed the impact of vancomycin resistance and interventions like source control.
Host and disease-specific factors significantly influenced mortality rates.
Vancomycin resistance did not correlate with increased mortality.
Early source control and infectious disease consultation improved survival outcomes.

Implication

Retrospective analysis identifies mortality predictors in bloodstream infections, suggesting improvements in clinical management.
