Clinical outcomes of antimicrobial resistance in cancer patients: a systematic review of multivariable models.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Infections are major causes of disease in cancer patients and pose a major obstacle to the success of cancer care. The global rise of antimicrobial resistance threatens to make these obstacles even greater and hinder continuing progress in cancer care. To prevent and handle such infections, better models of clinical outcomes building on current knowledge are needed. This internally funded systematic review (PROSPERO registration: CRD42021282769) aimed to review multivariable models of resistant infections/colonisations and corresponding mortality, what risk factors have been investigated, and with what methodological approaches.

Methods

We employed two broad searches of antimicrobial resistance in cancer patients, using terms associated with antimicrobial resistan
