Background and Aims: Yeasts, mostly Candida, are important causes of bloodstream infections (BSI), accounting for significant mortality and morbidity between hospitalized patients. The epidemiology and species distribution vary among different regions. The main goal of this study was to report the epidemiology of Candida BSI at King Abdullah University Hospital )KAUH( over a 10-year period. Other aims were to identify risk factors involved in infections caused by non- Candida albicans species and to report risk factors associated with 30-day mortality.

 Methods: This was a retrospective observational study. The medical and electronic records of patients who had candidemia at KAUH hospital from 2005 to 2014 were reviewed for demographic and clinical information, including the infecting Candida species, resistance to antifungal, and the risk factors associated with mortality. Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed to determine these factors.

Results: A total of 158 cases of Candida BSI were identified, with an incidence rate of 0.48 episodes/1,000 admissions (0.32 in 2008 and 0.72 in 2009). The proportion of candidemia caused by C. albicans (44.30%) was higher than that of candidemia caused by non. albicans species (42.41%). The main species of non-albicans were C. parapsilosis (14.56%), C. tropicalis (10.76%), and C. glabrata (6.33%). Comparison of C. albicans and non-Candida albicans candidemia by multivariate logistic regression showed that antibiotic before hospitalization (OR 2.454; P = 0.033) was the only factor associated with non-Candida albicans candidemia. The overall crude 30-day mortality was 38.7%. Central venous catheterization (OR 0.255; P = 0.026), mechanical ventilation (OR 0.162; P = 0.003), sever sepsis and Septic shock (OR =0.073; P = 0.008), admission to intensive care unit (ICU) (OR 0.78; P = 0.001), C. albicans (OR0.235; P = 0.018), length of stay (OR1.057; P =0.001), number of comorbidities (OR 0.580; P = 0.008) were independent risk factors for 30-day mortality.

Conclusion:  This study is the first epidemiological study of Candida BSIs in a Jordanian tertiary care hospital. The awareness of the local epidemiological trends in Candida species isolated from blood cultures is important to guide therapeutic management.  We reported multiple independent risk factors for 30-day mortality in candidemia patients.  Therefore, previous knowledge about such factors can have a huge impact on the management of candidemia and clinical outcomes.
