Compared to the immunocompetent group, immunocompromised patients were more likely to have a history of surgery and to use hormone frequently. They tended to rely more on medical devices, including urinary catheters, nasogastric catheters, arterial catheters, venous catheters, mechanical ventilation and endoscopy. Immunocompromised patients had a poorer recovery and were rehospitalized more often than those in immunocompetent patients. In the multivariable analysis, age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (aCCI) (OR: 1.292, 95%CI: 1.086-1.537,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.004) and microbiological clearance failure (OR: 4.175, 95%CI: 1.966-8.866,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.001) were the most important risk factors for mortality in immunocompromised patients infected with KP. It was further observed that immunocompromised patients in the ESBL-KP group had the lowest cumulative survival. In contrast, among both all participants and immunocompetent patients, the CRKP group had the lowest cumulative survival, followed by the ESBL-KP group.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The clinical characteristics, treatment process and prognosis in immunocompromised patients with KP infections are significantly different from those in immunocompetent patients.
