Comparison of clinical characteristics and outcomes in candidaemia patients with and without COVID-19: a multicentre retrospective study
According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, COVID-19 was not an independent risk factor for mortality. However, candidaemia patients with a prior COVID-19 diagnosis were more likely to exhibit critical conditions such as mechanical ventilation and experience poor outcomes. Therefore, clinicians need to monitor and prevent candidaemia in critically ill patients with COVID-19.
