Abstract Background Staphylococcus aureus is a well-known cause of hospital acquired infections. Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization is a recognized risk factor for invasive infections. The neonatal population in the intensive care unit (NICU) is particularly vulnerable to these types of infections, resulting in high mortality and morbidity. However, only scant data is available to establish the risk for invasive disease in patients with Methicillin sensitive staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). As a result, surveillance and prevention strategies are only address for MRSA colonization. Here, we describe the clinical characteristics of S. aureus colonized patients identified in late 2018 during transmission events in a single center NICU. As a result of the targeted surveillance investigation for MRSA infection control measures, S. aureus colonization was stratified, and we were able to compare the differences in invasive disease between MRSA and MSSA. Methods This is a retrospective chart review of the 47 colonized patients identified during October 2018- January 2019 SA transmission events in single center NICU. Risk factors, clinical characteristics, and the hospital course of these cases, including the proportion of invasive illness were reviewed. Results We found that most clinical characteristic, risk factors, and hospital course were the same between MRSA and MSSA colonized infants (p values > 0.05). Additionally, there was no difference in the proportion of invasive infection between MRSA and MSSA colonized patients (p value > 0.05). The type of invasive infections identified were SSTI, bacteremia, and osteomyelitis. Conclusion The proportion of invasive infection was the same in MSSA and MRSA colonized patients. This data provides us with supportive material for future recommendations of infection control measures for MSSA colonized patients. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Abstract Background This study represents figures from a cardiac care unit (CCU) of a university hospital; it describes an example of a tertiary academic center in Egypt and provides an epidemiological view of the female HF patients, their risk profile, and short-term outcome during hospitalization. Results It is a local single-center cross-sectional observational registry of CCU patients 1 year from July 2015 to July 2016. Patient’s data were collected through a special software program. Women with evidence of HF were thoroughly studied. Among the 1006 patients admitted to CCU in 1 year, 345 (34.2%) patients were females and 118 (34.2%) had evidence of HF, whereas 661 (65.7%) were males and 178 (26.9%) of them had HF. Women with HF showed 11.7% prevalence of the total population admitted to CCU. 72.7% were HFrEF and 27.3% were HFpEF. Compared to men, women with HF were older in age, more obese, less symptomatic than men, had higher incidence of associated co-morbidities, less likely to be re-admitted for HF, and less likely to have ACS and PCI. Valvular heart diseases and cardiomyopathies were the commonest etiologies of their HF. Women had more frequent normal ECG, higher EF%, and smaller LA size. There is no difference in medications and CCU procedures. While females had shorter stay, there is no significant difference in hospital mortality compared to male patients. Conclusions Despite higher prevalence of HF in females admitted to CCU and different clinical characteristics and etiology of HF, female gender was associated with similar prognosis during hospital course compared to male gender.

Abstract Background The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) has affected mortality worldwide. The Cox proportional hazard (CPH) model is becoming more popular in time-to-event data analysis. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics in COVID-19 inpatients including (survivor and non-survivor); thus helping clinicians give the right treatment and assess prognosis and guide the treatment. Methods This single-center study was conducted at Hospital for COVID-19 patients in Birjand. Inpatients with confirmed COVID-19 were included. Patients were classified as the discharged or survivor group and the death or non-survivor group based on their outcome (improvement or death). Clinical, epidemiological characteristics, as well as laboratory parameters, were extracted from electronic medical records. Independent sample T test and the Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test were used to evaluate the association of interested variables. The CPH model was used for survival analysis in the COVID-19 death patients. Significant level was set as 0.05 in all analyses. Results The results showed that the mortality rate was about (17.4%). So that, 62(17%) patients had died due to COVID-19, and 298 (83.6%) patients had recovered and discharged. Clinical parameters and comorbidities such as oxygen saturation, lymphocyte and platelet counts, hemoglobin levels, C-reactive protein, and liver and kidney function, were statistically significant between both studied groups. The results of the CPH model showed that comorbidities, hypertension, lymphocyte counts, platelet count, and C-reactive protein level, may increase the risk of death due to the COVID-19 as risk factors in inpatients cases. Conclusions Patients with, lower lymphocyte counts in hemogram, platelet count and serum albumin, and high C-reactive protein level, and also patients with comorbidities may have more risk for death. So, it should be given more attention to risk management in the progression of COVID-19 disease.
