Eligibility Criteria
The Duke Bloodstream Infection Biorepository (BSIB) contains prospectively collected clinical data on \~2000 unique inpatients at Duke with monomicrobial gram negative bacteria bloodstream infections.
You may qualify if:
- Since January 2002, one investigator (VGF) has received daily reports from the clinical microbiology laboratory on all hospitalized patients at Duke University Medical Center with one or more blood culture(s) positive for gram negative rods. Patients were then evaluated within 36 hours of the detection of bacteremia for clinical evidence of infection
You may not qualify if:
- Patients were excluded from the study for the following reasons: age less than 18 years, polymicrobial infection (blood culture positive for more than one pathogen), neutropenia (white blood cell count less than 1.0 x 109/L), or death prior to the return of positive blood cultures. In order to preserve the independence of observations, only the initial episode of gram negative bacteremia was included in the analysis (e.g., patients were only included once). The study was approved by the Duke University Medical Center Institutional Review Board.
