Hollow organ perforation, dehiscence of an intestinal suture with peritonitis, severe acute pancreatitis
Catheter-related candidemia
Intravascular device, one or more positive blood culture
Fever, chill, and/or hypotension
No apparent source of bloodstream infection
Positive catheter culture, same organism (species & susceptibility)
14. 95.05.15 POCLAL Statistical Analysis Crude Odd ratio

Logistic regression (logit) model
Power
Area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC)
Confidence interval

23. 95.05.15 POCLAL Multifocal Colonization Independent risk factor
National Epidemiology of Mycoses Survey (NEMIS)
SICU at 6 sites in USA
Rectal and/or urine surveillance
Not related to bloodstream infection
This study
Multiple site, weekly culture
24. 95.05.15 POCLAL Nosocomial Fungal Infection “probable”, ”possible”, ”proven
Unreliable for nonneutropenic patients
Colonization density: as predictor
Index: positive number site / number sites cultured
?0.4, preemptive antifungal therapy
2-yr prospective & 2-yr historical control cohorts
ICU candidiasis: 2.2% ? 0%
Candida score: improve specificity
25. 95.05.15 POCLAL Antifungal Therapy “Heavy” colonization ? treatment ?
ICUs in France
Multifocal Candida colonization
Clinical signs of sepsis
Several other risk factors for invasive candidiasis
79% of 135 intensivists in Spain
Multifocal Candida colonization
Clinical signs of sepsis
26. 95.05.15 POCLAL Paphitou & Ostrosky Retrospective, 12 ICUS, U.S. & Brazil
Prediction rule
At least 1 “major” & at least 2 “minor” risk factors
At 48 hours and to stay for ?2 days
10% risk of invasive candidiasis
No validation
Fungal colonization: not included
This study: more reliable
27. 95.05.15 POCLAL DuPont -- scoring Retrospective review in SICU
Prospective follow-up in France
Female, UGI origin of peritonitis, cardiovascular failure, use of antibiotics
Grade C: 3 qualifiers
Sensitivity 84%, specificity 50%
Single center, surgical patients
28. 95.05.15 POCLAL EPCAN Database Cohort of nonneutropenic ICU patients
Low rate of proven candidiasis, high mortality
Unifocal colonization (26.5%)
Multifocal colonization (50.9%)
Proven infection (57.7%)
Colonization
Key factor to start early antifungal infection
29. 95.05.15 POCLAL Candida Score Based on previously reported risk factors
Reliable differentiation
Colonization & infection
CVP
Repeated described as major risk factor
Not significant in this large prospective multicenter study
30. 95.05.15 POCLAL Candida Score Easy-to-remember; easy daily tasks
1 for TPN, surgery & multifocal colonization; 2 for clinical severe sepsis
Cut off value: 2.5
Sensitivity 81%, specificity 74%
Score > 2.5 ? 7.75 times to have proven infection
31. 95.05.15 POCLAL Candida Score More efficient selection of antifungal therapy
Prevention of development of resistant species
Candida score
At the time of ICU admission
Any time candidiasis is suspected
32. A score > 2.5 will help intensivists select patients who will benefit from early antifungal administration.
