Risk factors for death from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteremia

Our analyses showed increase in mortality from S. maltophilia bacteremia from 2014 to 2017, and that non-survivors had a higher frequency of ICU admission and ventilator use in both the 2010-2013 and 2014-2017 periods. There were more combination antimicrobial therapy cases after bacteremia in 2014-2017. Further prospective studies with larger numbers of patients should be undertaken for definitive conclusions.
