Mortality in Ventilator‐Associated Tracheobronchitis and Pneumonia in Oncology Patients: The Impact of Microbiological Aspects
This study provides valuable insights into the microbiological profile of patients with VAP and VAT in an oncological ICU and its impact on mortality. Mortality was not associated with MDR, possibly reflecting the high baseline risk from underlying conditions. However, patients with positive blood cultures had significantly higher mortality, suggesting a more invasive disease.
