Invasive infections with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present study was to identify independent predictors of early mortality and treatment failure in patients with MRSA bacteraemia. A total of 132 adult patients who developed MRSA bacteraemia during hospitalization in the University Hospital of Vienna between 2000 and 2011 were screened and 124 were included in a retrospective cohort study. Patient demographics, source of bacteraemia, antimicrobial treatment and microbiological characteristics were evaluated. The 28-day crude mortality was 30.6%. Predictors of early mortality identified in multivariate Cox regression analysis included higher patient age (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.03, 95% CI 1.01-1.06, p0.006), pneumonia (aHR 3.86, 95% CI 1.83-8.12, p
