Association Between Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia and Hospital Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients With Bloodstream Infection: A Multicenter Cohort From Japanese Tertiary Care Centers

Abstract: Multiple studies have shown that Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) has been a major cause of death in hemodialysis patients. We examined whether SAB is a risk for mortality among chronic hemodialysis patients in Japan where the standard vascular access is arteriovenous fistula (AVF). This was a multicenter, retrospective study of maintenance hemodialysis patients with bloodstream infection (BSI) from 2011 to 2013 at tertiary care centers in Japan. The endpoint was hospital mortality. Our cohort contained … Show more

“…In another study, Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteremia had a large winter peak (peak-to-trough ratio, 3.42 [3.10-3.83]), Escherichia coli bacteremia had a small summer peak (1.17 [1.12-1.22]), and Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia had no seasonal variation (1.05 [1.00-1.13]) 3 . Because Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia has been a major cause of death from bloodstream infection in HD patients 20 , those previous studies are likely to be in line with our results. In patients with ESRD, the incidence of influenza-like illness has been highest in the winter 10 , which supports our findings that mortality from pneumonia infection had a winter peak.…”

“…A total of 72 S. aureus isolates were cultured from patients undergoing HD, and among these, 43.1% were MRSA and 56.9% were methicillin sensitive S. aureus (MSSA). Previous studies have highlighted a high percentage of S. aureus colonization among HD patients 17,23,24 . The percentage of MRSA and MSSA in our study was found similar to that of a study published from Japan 17 .…”

“…Previous studies have highlighted a high percentage of S. aureus colonization among HD patients 17,23,24 . The percentage of MRSA and MSSA in our study was found similar to that of a study published from Japan 17 . The antibiotic profiling of S. aureus is very critical in management of the serious infections among the hospitalised patients.…”

“…Outside Europe, reported mortality rates are higher, ranging from 20% (12-week mortality) after S aureus bacteremia in the United States 16 to 46.9% (in-hospital mortality) in Japan. 35 Thus, short-term mortality is lower in HD patients, especially those cannulating with the buttonhole technique, compared with population controls. This might be explained because the threshold for hospital admission and blood culturing of dialysis patients showing signs and symptoms compatible with S aureus bacteremia may be lower in a hospital setting than in the general population.…”
