Abstract
Background: We aimed to evaluate changes in the prevalence of hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP)-causing pathogens and their antimicrobial resistance patterns in recent years and to identify risk factors for 28-day all-cause mortality (ACM) in patients with HABP.
Methods: A propensity score-matched study was performed by randomly allocating patients with ventilator-associated and non-ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia admitted to two university hospitals between 2011 and 2021.
Results: A total of 17,250 HABP patients were enrolled. The annual incidence of Staphylococcus aureus-HABP decreased during the study period, while that of Klebsiella pneumoniae-HABP significantly increased yearly. During the same period, the resistance rate of S. aureus to methicillin decreased from 88.4% to 64.4%, while the nonsusceptibility rate of K. pneumoniae to carbapenems increased from 0% to 38%. HABP caused by A. baumannii (aOR 1.50; 95% CI 1.25-1.79), K. pneumoniae (1.28; 1.16-1.40), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (1.32; 1.05-1.66) was a risk factor for 28-day ACM. HABP caused by methicillin-resistant S. aureus and carbapenem-nonsusceptible A. baumannii or K. pneumoniae showed a significantly low survival probability. HABP with preceding COVID-19 infection was related to both a high 28-day ACM rate (5.40; 3.03-9.64) and a high incidence of bacteraemic pneumonia (40.55; 5.26-312.79).
Conclusions: This study showed shifting trends of HABP-causing microorganisms in terms of annual incidence accompanied by shifting trends of their resistance rates to major therapeutic antimicrobial agents. HABP-causing bacterial pathogens, their antimicrobial resistance phenotypes, and preceding COVID-19 infection had significant impacts on the progression of HABP to bloodstream infection and 28-day ACM in infected patients.
