Higher Risk for All-cause Mortality of Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia in Patients with Non-Dialysis Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease

摘要

bacteremia (SAB) is a common and serious infection with a high mortality. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are vulnerable to SAB, but there have been few studies performed on the clinical characteristics and outcomes of SAB in CKD patients stratified by dialysis. We aimed to estimate the all-cause mortality and identify its predictors in patients with CKD.
