Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Candidiasis: 2016 Update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America. (2016, background): “Candida colonization, severity of illness, exposure to broadspectrum antibiotics, recent major surgery, particularly abdominal surgery, necrotizing pancreatitis, dialysis, parenteral nutrition, corticosteroids, and the use of CVCs [237, 238].”
Surviving Sepsis Campaign: International Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock: 2016 (2017, background): “Risk factors for invasive Candida infections include immunocompromised status (neutropenia, chemotherapy, transplant, diabetes mellitus, chronic liver failure, chronic renal failure), prolonged invasive vascular devices (hemodialysis catheters, central venous catheters), total parenteral nutrition, ”
A bedside scoring system (“Candida score”) for early antifungal treatment in nonneutropenic critically ill patients with Candida colonization* (2006, background): “Although central venous catheters are repeatedly described as major risk factors for proven hematogenous candidiasis (19, 31), in this large dataset from a prospective multicenter study, venous catheters were not significant predictors of proven candidal infection.”
Epidemiology of Invasive Mycoses in North America (2010, background): “Hospitalization in the ICU provides the opportunity for transmission of Candida among patients (Asmundsdottir et al. 2008; Mean et al. 2008) and has been shown to be an additional independent risk factor (Blumberg et al. 2001; Eggimann et al. 2003; Ostrosky-Zeichner.”
Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Candidiasis: 2009 Update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (2009, background): “Candida colonization, severity of illness, number of broad-spectrum antibiotic agents used and duration of use, previous surgery (especially bowel surgery), receipt of dialysis, use of central venous catheters, receipt of parenteral nutrition, and length of ICU stay are important risk factors for in”
A prospective observational study of candidemia: epidemiology, therapy, and influences on mortality in hospitalized adult and pediatric patients. (2003, result): “C. albicans was the most common blood isolate recovered from adults and children, but these data also confirm the emergence of non-albicans species of Candida as major causes of candidemia in tertiary care medical centers in the United States [2, 4, 9, 10, 13 , 14, 24], constituting at least one-ha”
