Clinical Characteristics, Risk Factors, and Outcomes of Patients With Myocardial Injury due to Klebsiella pneumoniae Bloodstream Infections
Conclusions: Older age (> 67 years), higher SOFA score (> 6), mechanical ventilation, and CVC in place were found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of myocardial injury. Clinical physicians should be alert to the potential for myocardial injury in elderly critically ill pat...

| Summary: | Conclusions: Older age (> 67 years), higher SOFA score (> 6), mechanical ventilation, and CVC in place were found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of myocardial injury. Clinical physicians should be alert to the potential for myocardial injury in elderly critically ill patients, especially those who are on mechanical ventilation and have indwelling CVC, in the event of KP-BSI. |
