14. Factors related to mortality in COVID-19 patients with bacterial septicemia
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate various factors related to mortality in COVID-19 patients with septicemia. This was a cross-sectional descriptive study on COVID-19 patients from September 2021 to March 2022 at the hospital treating COVID-19 patients at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. 68 patients were included in the study with positive blood culture results, the average age was 66.47 years old, 52.9% were males. The COVID-19 prophylactic vaccination rate was 44.1%, septic shock was 69.7%, and mortality was 66.8%. Seventeen types of bacteria were found in the positive blood cultures. The main bacteria included Acinetorbacter baumani, followed by Klebsiella pneumanie. Cases of septicemia caused by more than two types of bacteria were also noted in the study, with a patient having positive blood cultures for 4 types of bacteria. Age and degree of respiratory failure were two important factors to predict mortality in septicemia on COVID-19 patients.
