Abstract

This cohort study describes mortality predictors of necrotizing fasciitis (NF). Higher age, chronic kidney disease, and higher Charlson score increased the mortality rate. Mortality was >3 times higher in monomicrobial gram-negative NF than in type I or type II NF. Highest mortality was found with Enterobacteriales in non-Fournier NF.
