Attributable Mortality of <i>Candida</i> Bloodstream Infections in the Modern Era: A Propensity Score Analysis

Abstract

Patients with Candida BSI continue to experience high mortality. Mortality attributable to Candida BSI was more pronounced in patients at lowest risk to develop Candida BSI. A higher proportion of these low-risk patients went untreated, experienced higher mortality, and should be the target of aggressive interventions to ensure timely, effective treatment.
