Case-control analysis finds higher mortality and longer hospital stays linked to Acinetobacter baumannii infections, suggesting urgent infection-control measures.
A. baumannii BSIs were more common in males, with hypertension noted as a frequent comorbidity. Surgery during the current admission was the strongest independent risk factor, and respiratory or skin/soft-tissue infections were the main suspected sources. These infections led to longer hospital stays and higher mortality, emphasizing the need for strict surveillance, improved infection-control practices, and careful management of invasive procedures to reduce risk and improve outcomes.
