- W2561656688 abstract "Background/ObjectivesHealthcare-associated meningitis or ventriculitis (HCAMV) is a serious and life-threatening complication of invasive neurosurgical procedures or penetrating head trauma. Older adults are at higher risk of adverse outcomes in community-acquired meningitis but studies of HCAMV are lacking. Therefore, we perform the study to define the differences in clinical outcomes between older and younger adults with HCAMV.DesignRetrospective study.SettingA large tertiary care hospital in Houston, Texas, from July 2003 to November 2014.ParticipantsAdults with a diagnosis of HCAMV (N = 160) aged ≥65 (n = 35), aged 18–64 (n = 125).MeasurementsDemographic characteristics, clinical presentation, laboratory results, treatments, and outcomes (Glasgow Outcome Scale).ResultsOlder adults had more comorbidities and CSF abnormalities [pleocytosis, high cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein, low CSF glucose) and were more likely to have altered mental status than younger adults (P < .05). An adverse clinical outcome was seen in 142 participants (89%) (death (n = 18, 11%), persistent vegetative state (n = 26, 16%), severe disability (n = 68, 43%), moderate disability (n = 30, 19%). There was no difference in adverse outcomes between older (97%) and younger (86%) adults (P = .13). On logistic regression analysis, abnormal neurological examination (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 7.13, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.15–23.63, P = .001) and mechanical ventilation (aOR = 11.03, 95% CI = 1.35–90.51, P = .02) were associated with adverse clinical outcomes.ConclusionOlder adults with HCAMV have more comorbidities and CSF abnormalities and are more likely to have altered mental status than younger adults but have similar high rates of adverse clinical outcomes." @default.
