Rationale: The epidemiology and clinical impact of COVID‐19‐associated candidemia (CAC) remained uncertain, leaving gaps in understanding its prevalence, risk factors and outcomes. Methods: A systematic review and meta‐analysis were conducted by searching PubMed, Embase and Scopus for reports of CAC prevalence, risk factors and clinical outcomes up to June 18, 2024. The generalised linear mixed model was employed to determine the prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The risk factors and clinical outcomes were compared between patients with and without CAC using the inverse variance method. Results: From 81 studies encompassing 29 countries and involving 351,268 patients, the global prevalence of CAC was 4.33% (95% Cl, 3.16%–5.90%) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. In ICUs, the pooled prevalence of CAC in high‐income countries was significantly higher than that of lower‐middle‐income countries (5.99% [95% Cl, 4.24%–8.40%] vs. 2.23% [95% Cl, 1.06%–4.61%], p = 0.02). Resistant Candida species, including C. auris, C. glabrata (Nakaseomyces glabratus) and C. krusei (Pichia kudriavzveii), constituted 2% of ICU cases. The mortality rate for CAC was 68.40% (95% Cl, 61.86%–74.28%) among ICU patients. Several risk factors were associated with CAC, including antibiotic use, central venous catheter placement, dialysis, mechanical ventilation, tocilizumab, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and total parenteral nutrition. Notably, the pooled odds ratio of tocilizumab was 2.59 (95% CI, 1.44–4.65). Conclusions: The prevalence of CAC is substantial in the ICU setting, particularly in high‐income countries. Several risk factors associated with CAC were identified, including several that are modifiable, offering the opportunity to mitigate the risk of CAC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
