Ventilator-associated pneumonia and bloodstream infections in intensive care unit cancer patients: a retrospective 12-year study on 3388 prospectively monitored patients	2019-04-17		.txt	text/plain	3234	185	54	PURPOSE: Some publications suggest high rates of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and of nosocomial pneumonia portending a poor prognosis in ICU cancer patients. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of all the patients hospitalized for ≥ 48 h during a 12-year period in the 12-bed ICU of the Gustave Roussy hospital, monitored prospectively for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and bloodstream infection (BSI) and for use of medical devices. The cumulative incidence during the first 25 days of exposure was 58.8% (95% CI 49.1–66.6%) for VAP, 8.9% (95% CI, 6.2–11.5%) for primary, 15.1% (95% CI 11.6–18.5%) for secondary and 5.0% (95% CI 3.2–6.8%) for catheter-related BSIs. VAP or BSIs were not associated with a higher risk of ICU mortality. The case report forms include information on the following: invasive devices (mechanical ventilation [MV] and central venous catheters [CVCs]), HAIs (VAP, primary BSIs, catheter-related BSIs, and secondary BSIs), neutropenia (white blood cell [WBC] count < 1000/mm 3 or acute leukemia) before admission (duration and nadir), and outcomes at discharge from ICU (infections [date of diagnosis, pathogen] and death.	./cache/cord-011332-dzl09afq.txt	./txt/cord-011332-dzl09afq.txt
