Abstract

Objective: To determine the risk factors leading to treatment failure of nosocomial pneumonia (NP) due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus spp.. Methods: We conducted a prospective, cross-sectional descriptive study with 208 patients with NP due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus spp. infection who were treated at the Pulmonary department of Cho Ray Hospital from March 2021 to March 2023. Results: We collected 92 patients who definitely diagnosed with methicillin-resistant staphylococcal nosocomial pneumonia. Among them, had 54 (58.7%) successful treatment, 38 (41.3%) unsuccessful treatment. There was a significant difference between the unsuccessful treatment group and the successful treatment group in the following factors: mean age (58.5 ± 18.5 vs 64.1 ± 12.1), severe NP (94.7% vs 74.1%), respiratory failure (94.7% vs 72.2%), sepsis (86.8% vs 33.3%), septic shock (76.3% vs 14.8%), mechanical ventilation (97.4% vs 25.9%), dialysis (50% vs 13%); with p < 0.05. Conclusion: NP due to methicillin-resistant staphylococcus spp. infection is associated with a high rate of treatment failure, and it is crucial to assess risk factors for treatment failure to treat and predict patients proactively.
