| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Despite advances in surgery and critical care, candidemia remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with extensive burns. METHODS: A retrospective single-center cohort study was performed on 174 patients admitted to the Burn Intensive Care Unit of the General Hospital of Vienna (2007-2013). An AIC based model selection procedure for logistic regression models was utilized to identify factors associated with the presence of candidemia. RESULTS: Twenty (11%) patients developed candidemia on median day 16 after ICU admission associated with an increased overall mortality (30% versus 10%). Statistical analysis identified the following factors associated with proven candidemia: younger age (years) odds ratio (OR):0.96, 95% confidence interval (95% CI):0.92-1.0, female gender (reference male) OR:5.03, 95% CI:1.25-24.9, gastrointestinal (GI) complications requiring surgery (reference no GI complication) OR:20.37, 95% CI:4.25-125.8, non-gastrointestinal thromboembolic complications (reference no thromboembolic complication) OR:17.3, 95% CI:2.57-170.4 and inhalation trauma (reference no inhalation trauma) OR:7.96, 95% CI:1.4-48.4. CONCLUSIONS: Above-mentioned patient groups are at considerably high risk for candidemia and might benefit from a prophylactic antifungal therapy. Younger age as associated risk factor is likely to be the result of the fact that older patients with a great extent of burn body surface have a lower chance of survival compared to younger patients with a comparable TBSA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
