Characteristics and risk factors for infection and mortality caused by <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> in patients with acute pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this study is to investigate the risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infection and death of K. pneumoniae infections in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients.

Methods

This was a retrospective analysis of AP patients with K. pneumoniae infection between January 2019 and April 2024. Logistic regression model was used to determine the risk factors for acquisition of CRKP. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to identify risk factors for mortality of K. pneumoniae infection.

Results

A total of 113 AP patients experienced K. pneumoniae infections, including 66 with CRKP infection and 47 with CSKP infection. The mortality rate of these patients was 36.3%, with a significantl
