title: Raw data and SPSS analysis for the article Bacterial and fungal co-infections among ICU COVID-19 hospitalized patients in a Palestinian hospital: Incidence and antimicrobial stewardship

description: The attached data is related to a study with proposes to investigate the
 burden of bacterial and fungal co-infections outcomes on COVID-19
 patients. It is a single-center cross-sectional study of hospitalized
 COVID-19 patients at Beit-Jala hospital in Palestine. The study included
 321 hospitalized patients admitted to the ICU between June 2020 and March
 2021 aged ≥20 years, Background: Diagnosis of co-infections with multiple
 pathogens among hospitalized COVID-19 patients can be jointly challenging
 and very essential for appropriate treatment, shortening hospital stay and
 preventing antimicrobial resistance. This study proposes to investigate
 the burden of bacterial and fungal co-infections outcomes on COVID-19
 patients. It is a single center cross-sectional study of hospitalized
 COVID-19 patients at Beit-Jala hospital in Palestine. Methods: The study
 included 321 hospitalized patients admitted to the ICU between June 2020
 and March 2021 aged ≥20 years, with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 via
 RT-PCR conducted on a nasopharyngeal swab. The patient's information
 was gathered using graded data forms from electronic medical reports.
 Results: The diagnosis of bacterial and fungal infection was proved
 through the patient`s clinical presentation and positive blood or sputum
 culture results. All cases had received empirical antimicrobial therapy
 before the ICU admission, and different regimens during the ICU stay. The
 rate of bacterial co-infection was 51.1%, mainly from gram-negative
 isolates (Enterobacter species and K.pneumoniae). The rate of fungal
 co-infection caused by A.fumigatus was 48.9%, and the mortality rate was
 8.1%. However, it is unclear if it had been attributed to SARS-CoV-2 or
 coincidental.
description: Data extraction was done manually and verified by a second
 researcher, using graded data forms from electronic medical reports. The
 obtained data were socio-demographics, chronic comorbidities, laboratory
 findings (CRP, Leukocytes, blood Oxygen saturation), duration of ICU stay
 and other factors. The bacterial or fungal co-infection was proved through
 clinical presentation and positive blood or sputum testing via Laboratory
 Information System. Before and during the ICU admission, antimicrobial
 utilization was recorded, and the reports were double-checked for accuracy
 and completeness The analysis
 was performed on these data and summarized socio-demographic and clinical
 characteristics using relevant descriptive statistics; categorical
 variables as percentages and frequencies. Then Pearson`s Chi-square test
 was performed to determine the association between the main parameters,
 which were the ICU residency duration and the other factors such as;
 demographics, Iron supplements, antibiotics administration before and
 during the ICU admission and smoking habits, etc. Data was applied and
 presented upon the IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version
 22.0. (SPSS).
