PURPOSE: To determine whether nosocomial candidemia is associated with increased mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective (1992 to 2000) cohort study of 73 ICU patients with candidemia and 146 matched controls. Controls were matched based on disease severity as measured by the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score (+/- 1 point), diagnostic category, and length of ICU stay before onset of candidemia.RESULTS: In comparison with the control group, patients with candidemia developed more acute respiratory failure (97% [n = 71] vs. 88% [n = 129], P = 0.03) during their ICU stay. They were mechanically ventilated for a longer period (29 +/- 26 days vs. 19 +/- 19 days, P
