Implication

Retrospective study investigates complications and mortality predictors in hemodialysis patients with CRBSI, suggesting targeted management strategies.

Key Points

This study aims to understand the microbiological factors and predictors associated with complications and mortality in hemodialysis patients suffering from CRBSI.
Analyzed demographic and clinical data from 191 hemodialysis patients with CRBSI between 2016-2022.
Evaluated microbial cultures, resistance patterns, and complications.
Used statistical tests to assess factors linked to mortality and complications.
68.6% of isolates were gram-positive, primarily coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus.
Methicillin resistance was noted in 83.5% of coagulase-negative staphylococci.
Complications occurred in 17.2% of patients, highlighting endocarditis as the most common condition.
In-hospital mortality was 11%, associated with diabetes and elevated inflammatory markers.
