Brief Summary

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are increasingly identified in children in China. Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is the high-risk area. However, data on the epidemiology of CRE in hospitalized children in PICU are limited. The objectives of this study are to characterize the risk factors for colonization or infection with CRE and describe the microbiologic characteristics of pediatric CRE isolates. The investigators will perform a single retrospective study from January 2018 to December 2019 at PICU of Children's Hospital of Fudan University .

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • mortality

    The death rate of children in 28 days after their discharged from PICU

    within 28 days after they discharged from PICU

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • length of stay in PICU

    within 28 days after they discharged from PICU

Study Arms (3)

non CRE

Children with a negative culture for CRE during their stay in PICU are defined as non CRE.

CRE colonization

Children who have a positive culture for CRE during their stay in PICU but lack of clinical symptoms are defined as CRE colonization.

CRE infection

Children who have a positive culture for CRE during their stay in PICU combined with clinical symptoms are defined as CRE infection.
