Identifying key blood markers for bacteremia in elderly patients: insights into bacterial pathogens
<i>E. coli</i> was identified as the predominant pathogenic microorganism causing bacteremia in the elderly, with a significantly higher culture positivity rate among female patients. Routine blood parameters (WBC, NLR, PLR, and RDW) demonstrated a predictive potential for diagnosing bacteremia in elderly patients.
