Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections among ICU Admission Patients in Central China: Prevalence and Prediction Model.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the prevalence of infections due to carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) among ICU admission patients in central China and develop a reliable prediction model.

Methods

Five hundred and seven consecutive ICU admission patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) infection were enrolled in this retrospective multicenter case-control study from January 2014 to June 2018. The prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern were analyzed. Multivariate analysis was performed by logistic regression modeling to determine the risk factors. A prediction model was developed and verified using data from six hospitals in central China.

Results

Of the total 507 isolates of KP, 244 (48.1%) strains were carbapenem resistant. The maj
