- Non-ICU patients with candidemia had higher comorbidity burden, particularly more hematologic/oncologic malignancies, compared to ICU patients.
- Non-ICU patients exhibited significantly lower mortality rates in survival analysis, with postsurgical non-ICU patients showing the highest survival at 73.3%.
- Older age, hemato-oncologic malignancies, chronic liver disease, and COVID-19 were independently associated with increased mortality risk in non-ICU patients.
- Infectious disease consultation, initial echinocandin treatment, and higher EQUAL Candida scores were associated with reduced mortality risk in non-ICU patients.
