Predictors and outcomes of healthcare-associated infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales: a parallel matched case-control study

The increasing incidence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales as major pathogens in healthcare associated infections (HAIs) is of paramount concern in Singapore. To implement effective prevention strategies against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) HAIs, it is crucial to identify modifiable factors associated with these infections. We identified risk factors for CRE-HAIs, and compared clinical outcomes of CRE-HAI and carbapenem-sensitive Enterobacterales (CSE)-HAI patients.
