Vancomycin-resistant enterococcal (VRE) bloodstream infections (BSI) are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. To determine the attributable costs of vancomycin-sensitive (VSE) and VRE BSI and the independent impact of vancomycin-resistance on hospital costs. A retrospective cohort study was conducted of 21,154 non-surgical patients admitted to an academic medical center between 2002 and 2003. Using administrative data, attributable hospital costs (inflation adjusted to $2007) and length of stay were estimated with multivariate generalized least squares (GLS) models and propensity score matched-pairs. The cohort included 182 VSE and 94 VRE BSI cases. After adjustment for demographics, comorbidities, procedures, non-enterococcal BSI, and early mortality, the attributable costs of VSE BSI were $2,250 (95% confidence interval [CI], $1,758–$2,880) in the standard GLS model and $2,023 (95% CI, $1,588–$2,575) in the propensity-score weighted GLS model and the attributable costs of VRE BSI were $4,479 (95% CI, $3,500–$5,732) in the standard GLS model and $4,036 (95% CI, $3,170–$5,140) in the propensity-score weighted GLS model. The median of the difference in costs between matched-pairs was $5,282 ($2,042–$8,043) for VSE BSI and $9,949 (95% CI, $1,579–$24,693) for VRE BSI. The attributable costs of vancomycin-resistance were $1,713 (95% CI, $1,338–$2,192) in the standard GLS model and $1,546 (95% CI, $1,214–$1,968) in the propensity-score weighted GLS model. Attributable length of stay ranged from 1.1–2.2 days for VSE BSI and 2.2–3.5 days for VRE BSI cases. VSE and VRE BSI were independently associated with hospital costs and length of stay. Vancomycin-resistance was associated with increased costs.
