Background The Infectious Disease Society of America recommends that all patients with candidemia undergo a dilated retinal examination to exclude invasive ocular candidiasis. However, it remains unclear whether there are patients with candidemia who do not warrant routine surveillance because the risk of ocular infection is low. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all patients with candidemia diagnosed at three academic medical centers (Duke, University of North Carolina and University of Virginia) from 2012 to 2017. We collected risk factors for invasive ocular candidiasis based on previous literature and compared them between patients with and without invasive ocular candidiasis. We then built a multivariate logistic regression model to assess which risk factors were significant for developing invasive ocular candidiasis. Results Overall, 942 patients were diagnosed with candidemia over the study period. The mean age was 55.9 years, 56% were men, 25% were non-White. Among these patients, 120 (13%) were also diagnosed with invasive ocular candidiasis, 10% with chorioretinitis and 3% with vitreous involvement. In our logistic regression analysis, central venous catheter presence [OR 8.35 (3.53, 19.77)], intravenous drug use [OR 5.02 (2.63, 9.58)], immunosuppression [OR 2.40 (1.55, 3.70)], total parenteral nutrition [OR 2.28 (1.42, 3.66)], non-White race [OR 1.65 (1.07, 2.55)], older age [OR 1.02 (1.01, 1.03)],and female gender [OR 0.57 (0.37, 0.89)] were risk factors for developing invasive ocular candidiasis. In addition, we found that persons with candidemia due to C. albicans were more likely to have invasive ocular candidiasis [OR 1.86 (1.22, 2.85)]. Conclusion This cohort represents the largest study of patients with candidemia who developed invasive ocular candidiasis to date. Based on our findings, clinicians should develop targeted and cost-effective strategies for endophthalmitis screening. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
