Predictors of mortality in patients with Gram-Negative Bacilli (GNB) blood stream infections (BSI): multicentre data from India

This study was done with objectives of determining the predictors of mortality in patients with Gram-Negative Bacilli (GNB) Blood stream Infection (BSI) along with estimating mortality attributable to carbapenem resistance (CR). In this prospective cohort study (January 2023-September 2024), done in 3 tertiary care centres in India, patients found to have mono-microbial GNB BSI were included. Primary outcome was crude mortality at day 30 of onset of BSI. Out of 604 patients, mortality at day 30 happened in 140 (23.2%) patients. Intergroup analysis between patients alive ( We did not find CR as a major contributing factor for death among patients with BSI due to
