Abstract

While SARS-CoV2 infection has been shown to be a significant risk-factor for several secondary bacterial, viral and Aspergillus infections, its impact on intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired candidemia (ICAC) remains poorly explored. Using the REA-REZO network (French surveillance network of ICU-acquired infections), we included all adult patients hospitalized for a medical reason of admission in participating ICUs for at least 48h from January 2020 to January 2023. To account for confounders, a non-parsimonious propensity score matching was performed. Rates of ICAC according to SARS-CoV2 status were compared in matched patients. Factors associated with ICAC in COVID-19 patients were also assessed using a Fine-Gray model. A total of 55,268 patients hospitalized at least 48h for a medical reason in 101 ICUs were included along the study period. Of those, 13,472 were tested positive for a SARS-CoV2 infection while 284 patients developed an ICAC. ICAC rate was higher in COVID-19 patients in both the overall population and the matched patients' cohort (0.8% (107/13,472) versus 0.4% (173/41,796); p < 0.001 and 0.8% (93/12,241) versus 0.5% (57/12,241); p = 0.004, respectively). ICAC incidence rate was also higher in those patients (incidence rate 0.51 per 1000 patients-days in COVID-19 patients versus 0.32 per 1000 patients-days; incidence rate ratio: 1.58 [95% CI:1.08-2.35]; p = 0.018). Finally, patients with ICAC had a higher ICU mortality rate (49.6% versus 20.2%; p < 0.001). In this large multicenter cohort of ICU patients, although remaining low, the rate of ICAC was higher among COVID-19 patients.
