Results from all serum Mucorales qPCR tests performed on patients from the hematology unit from January 2017 to December 2022 were analyzed. Patients with positive results were classified as having proven, probable or \u2018PCR-only\u2019 mucormycosis. One-month mortality for the local cohort was compared with that of a national cohort of cases of mucormycosis collected by the French surveillance network for invasive fungal disease (\u2018R\u00e9seau de surveillances des infections fongiques invasives en France\u2019 (RESSIF)) from 2012 to 2018. From 2017 to 2022, 7825 serum Mucorales qPCR tests were performed for patients from the hematology unit; 107 patients with at least one positive Mucorales qPCR (164 positive samples) were identified. Sixty patients (70 positive samples, median Cq\u00a0=\u00a040) had no radiological criteria for mucormycosis and were considered not to have invasive fungal disease (70\/7825, 0.9% false positives). It was not possible to classify disease status for six patients (12 positive samples, median Cq\u00a0=\u00a038). Forty-one patients (82 positive samples, median Cq\u00a0=\u00a035) had a final diagnosis of mucormycosis. In comparison with the RESSIF cohort, the local cohort was independently associated with a 48% lower one-month all-cause mortality rate (age-, sex-, and primary disease-adjusted hazard ratio\u00a0=\u00a00.52; 95% confidence interval: 0.29\u20130.94; P 0.03). Proactive screening for invasive mold diseases in high-risk hematology patients, including twice-weekly Mucorales qPCR on serum, was associated with mucormycosis higher survival.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/mmy\/myae030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,25]],"date-time":"2024-03-25T18:57:51Z","timestamp":1711393071000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Use
