Abstract in brief

  • The study highlights the significant health and economic impacts of bloodstream infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in low- and middle-income countries compared to infections from antibiotic-sensitive bacteria (ASB).
  • It utilizes a systematic review of 109 articles, focusing on metrics like mortality rates, ICU admissions, and hospital stay lengths, indicating that ARB infections lead to higher mortality (OR 1.58) and longer stays (SMD 0.49).
  • Findings also reveal increased ICU admissions (OR 1.96) for ARB infections, underscoring the need for better infection control strategies in these settings.
