  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All adult patients (> 18 years) admitted to the ICUs of these centers will be evaluated for the occurrence of Candida infection and followed to discharge or death in ICU. The duration of the study will be 12 months. Also patients who had invasive candidiasis within 72 hours of ICU admission will be included.

Who may be able to join

  • adult patients (> 18 years)
  • develop invasive candidiasis as per prespecified definitions during ICU stay
  • In addition, patients who had invasive candidiasis within 72 hours of ICU admission will be included

Who cannot join

  • Diagnosis of invasive candidiasis (definite or probable) more than 72 hours before ICU admission.
  • Diagnosis of invasive candidiasis (definite or probable) within 72 hours of ICU admission, but the admission to ICU for an unrelated reason.
  • Readmission to the ICU during the same hospitalization with invasive candidiasis occurring during one of the previous admissions.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Hospital Mortality

    For patients staying in the ICU for long periods, hospital mortality will be censored at 180 days after entry into the study.That is patient staying alive in the hospital more than 180 days will be considered alive.

    Measured: Patients will be followed while in the ICU and the vital status at the time of discharge from the ICU will be noted. The expected stay in the ICU is 10 days on average.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. ICU Mortality

    If patients are still alive in the ICU at 180 days after entring the sudy, they will be considered ICU survivors.

    Measured: patients will be followed until discharge from the hospital and vital status at discharge from the hospital will be noted (expected hospital stay is 5 weeks). Hopsital mortality will be censored at 180 days after entry into the study.

  2. Duration of Mechanical Ventilation

    If multiple intubations in the same admission, then the durations of mechanical ventilation will be added.This will be assessed for up to 180 days of stay in the ICU.

    Measured: date of extubtation minus date of intubation

  3. Length of Stay in the ICU

    Patients will be followed for up to 180 days.Patinets alive in the ICU beyond 180 days of stay will have an ICU length of stay of 180 days.

    Measured: date of discharge from ICU minus date of admission to ICU

  4. Length of Stay in the Hospital

    Patients will be followed for up to 180 days.Patinets alive in the hospital beyond 180 days of stay will have a hospital length of stay of 180 days.

    Measured: date of discharge from hospital minus date of admission to hospital
