The aim of this study was to create a predictive score for yeast isolation in patients with
complicated non-postoperative intra-abdominal infections (CNPIAI) and to evaluate the
impact of yeast isolation on outcome. All patients with a CNPIAI undergoing emergency surgery over a 3-year period were
included in the retrospective cohort (RC, n = 290). Patients with a yeast-positive peritoneal
fluid culture (YP) were compared with patients with a yeast-negative culture (YN).
Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors independently associated with
yeast isolation and a predictive score was built. The score’s performance was then established
in the prospective cohort (PC, n = 152) over an 18-month period. Outcome of the whole
cohort was evaluated and independent risks factors of mortality searched.
