The increasing incidence and mortality of bacteremia in Denmark from 2010 to 2022: a population-based nationwide cohort study
We found a substantial rise in blood culture activity and the incidence of positive cultures. This rise is driven by an increasing number of older citizens, which is expected to increase further in the coming years. Considering the high risk of mortality and increasing incidence, a national surveillance of bacteremia is warranted.
