A novel prognostic model for malignant patients with Gram-negative bacteremia based on real-world research.

ABSTRACT: Gram-negative bacteremia (GNB) is a common complication in malignant patients. Identifying risk factors and developing a prognostic model for GNB might improve the survival rate. In this observational and real-world study, we retrospectively analyzed the risk factors and outcomes of GNB in malignant patients. Multivariable regression was used to identify risk factors for the incidence of GNB, while Cox regression analysis was performed to identify significant prognostic factors. A prognostic model was constructed based on Cox regression analysis and presented on a nomogram. ROC curves, calibration plots, and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to estimate the model. It comprised 1004 malignant patients with Bloodstream infection (BSI) in the study cohort, 65.7% (N = 660) acquired GNB. Multivar
