| Abstract |
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae infection is an emerging problem in paediatric populations leading to increased mortality. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence, risk factors and clinical outcomes of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in paediatric blood stream infections (BSIs). A retrospective review of paediatric patients diagnosed with Enterobacteriaceae bacteremia was performed at Phramongkutklao Hospital from 2010 to 2017. Among 97 non-duplicated blood isolates, the prevalence of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae was 53.6% (28.9% Escherichia coli and 25.8% Klebsiella spp. isolates). The study indicated that the prevalence of ESBL infection was higher among patients with chronic illness, especially hematologic malignancies, than among patients without underlying disease (P = 0.01). No differences were observed in the prior use of any antibiotics, the use of extended-spectrum cephalosporin, neutropaenia or the presence of an indwelling central venous catheter. Mortality in the ESBL group was significantly higher than that in the non-ESBL group, with observed mortalities of 38.9% and 13.3%, respectively (P < 0.05). In conclusion, BSIs with ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae tended to increase infection rates and impact survival rates among paediatric patients. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 August 2018.
All research outputs
#22,767,715
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from BMC Research Notes
#3,815
of 4,514 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#301,590
of 344,555 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Research Notes
#119
of 136 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,514 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 344,555 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 136 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
