748. Epidemiology and Outcomes of Invasive Fungal Infections Following Civilian Trauma

Background Invasive fungal infections (IFI) following traumatic injury are devastating complications that threaten life and limb. In military combat wounds, post-traumatic IFI patients have up to 6 times higher mortality rates and 2.6-5.1 times higher rate of high-level amputations compared to non-IFI patients, though no such data exists for the civilian population. This study is the first cohort to analyze a post-traumatic civilian population for IFI, its epidemiology and outcomes.
