Authors' recommendations:
Study found that there was a low incidence of invasive fungal disease (IFD) among non-neutropenic critically ill adult patients. Risk modelling produced simple risk models that provided acceptable discrimination for identifying patients at 'high risk' of invasive Candida infection. The economic model suggested that a strategy of no risk assessment and no antifungal prophylaxis was most cost-effective.
