Risk factors and mortality associated with multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacterial infection in adult patients with abdominal surgery

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative bacterial (GNB) infections remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among surgical patients. The objective of our study was to recognize the risk factors for MDR GNB infection in patients with abdominal surgery and determine the predictors independently associated with death.

This study provides important information about the risk factors for subsequent MDR GNB infection and 30-day mortality among the patients with abdominal surgery.
