Bacteremia Prevalence and Risk Factors at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital, Yogyakarta
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the prevalence and risk factors of bacteremia at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital, Yogyakarta.
Research Methodology: This study employed an analytical observational design with a case-control approach. The sample consisted of hospitalized patients diagnosed with bacteremia between January 2020 and December 2021, selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria of this study.
Results: A total of 133 patients were included in this study. Statistical analysis showed that several variables were significantly associated with bacteremia, including age (p = 0.001; OR = 2.87), fever (p = 0.02; OR = 1.94), vomiting (p = 0.003; OR = 2.33), and abdominal pain (p = 0.016; OR = 2.29).
Conclusions: The prevalence of bacteremia was identified in 133 patients, with age and clinical symptoms, particularly fever, vomiting, and abdominal pain, emerging as significant risk factors.
Limitations: This study was conducted in a single hospital setting, which may limit the generalizability of the findings to other healthcare settings with different patient characteristics and epidemiological profiles.
Contributions: The findings provide important epidemiological insights that can support hospitals in identifying risk patterns and improving the management of bacteremia in clinical practice.
