Invasive Escherichia coli disease (IED) incidence has increased over recent years among aging populations and rising antimicrobial resistance. Here, we report on a comparative, cross-sectional, retrospective analysis of US patients with IED to quantify IED-related healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), costs, impact health-related quality life (HRQoL). This study included Kaiser Permanente Northwest (KPNW) members aged ≥ 60 enrolled between July 2019 January 2020. Patients were divided into three groups: Group 1 had experienced episode (≤ 3 weeks before enrollment); 2 former (13–18 months was at risk no prior history IED. Data collected from electronic hospital records, patient survey, the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire. Mean costs adjusted according individual follow-up. Patient characteristics generally consistent across Groups (n = 289), 319), 340). Inpatient hospitalization observed in 84%, 44%, 15% 1, 3, respectively. direct per (per 30-day follow-up) $17,168, $2530, $1094 2, total year following an (Group 2) $35,034 vs. $16,163 at-risk 3. HRQoL poor for IED, mean EQ-5D-5L utility index value 0.25 worst day illness. During 12-month follow-up period, rehospitalization rates number antibiotic prescriptions ~ threefold higher who recovered those risk. These data demonstrate substantial short- long-term impacts HCRU, HRQoL. Additional research is needed further novel prevention strategies.
