Abstract
Background : The hospital-acquired pneumonia is the most common nosocomial infection. Recently, the Acinetobacter baummannii infections are rapidly increasing, especially the frequency of Multi-drug resistant A. baumannii. Therefore we assessed clinical features and prognosis of patients in the ICU with Multi-drug resistant A. baumannii from the sputum culture using the Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score(CPIS). Method : The medical records of 43 patients with Multi-drug resistant A. baumannii from sputum culture who were suspected had clinically pneumonia and admitted to the ICU from January 2000 to July 2002 were retrospectively analyzed. Results : 19 patients were CPIS greater than 6 and 24 patients were CPIS less than or equal to 6. Mean age for the former was $71{\pm}11$ years old, and the latter was $61{\pm}19$ years old. The mean APACHE II score on admission and on sputum study was not different between two groups($17.4{\pm}5.7$ vs $18.5{\pm}6.1$, p=0.553, $20{\pm}6$ vs $17{\pm}8$, p=0.078). But the mortality rate was 73.7% for the former, and 16.7% for the latter(p<0.001). Conclusion : In ICU patients who had clinically suspected pneumonia with sputum culture positive for Multi-drug resistant A. baumannii, the mortality was significantly higher if CPIS was greater than 6.
