Brief summary
the number of immunocompromised patients hospitalized in the intensive care units (ICU) is increasing. They are at higher risk of colonization and/or infection with multi-resistant bacteria (MDR). However this risk is not well characterized. ICU acquired infections related to MDR are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to compare the incidence of ICU-acquired colonization and ICU-acquired infection related to MDR between immunocompromized and immunocompetent patients. The risk factors for ICU-acquired colonization and ICU-acquired infections, and their impact on outcome will also be evaluated and compared between immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Density rate of ICU-acquired infections related to MDR in immunosuppressed patients. | From ICU admission until day 28 after ICU admission | the number ICU-acquired infections related to MDR will be devided by the number of days in the ICU and reported for 1000 days. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of ICU-acquired colonizations related to MDR in immunosuppressed patients. | From ICU admission until day 28 after ICU admission | The rate of patients with at least one ICU-acquired colonization related to MDR |
| Rate of ICU-acquired infections related to MDR in immunosuppressed patients | From ICU admission until day 28 after ICU admission | The rate of patients with at least one ICU-acquired infection related to MDR |
| Density rate of ICU-acquired colonizations related to MDR in immunosuppressed patients | From ICU admission until day 28 after ICU admission | the number of ICU-acquired colonizations related to MDR will be devided by the number of days in the ICU and reported for 1000 days |
| Mechanical ventilation duration | From ICU admission until day 28 after ICU admission | the number of days Under mechanical ventilation |
| length of stay in intensive care unit | From ICU admission until day 28 after ICU admission | the number of days of hospitalization in teh ICU |
| 28 day mortality | from ICU admission until day 28 after admission | death in the ICU or after discharge from the ICU |
