Predicting the risk of invasive candidiasis in critically ill patients

侵袭性真菌感染（如血流感染）是重症监护室管理的危重患者的严重和日益严重的问题。结果可以通过仅对真菌感染风险最高的患者进行早期治疗来改善。我们的目标是轻松识别高危人群。将观察在七个主要ICU接受治疗的患者，并开发一种简单而准确的方法来评估他们的疾病特征和存在的真菌类型。

Invasive fungal infections (such as bloodstream infections) are a serious and increasing problem for critically ill patients managed in the Intensive Care Unit. Outcomes can be improved by giving early treatment only to those at highest risk of fungal infection. Our aim is to easily identify those at high-risk. Patients treated in seven major ICUs will be observed and a simple and accurate method of scoring their illness characteristics and amount-types of fungi present will be developed.
