Thus, we investigated the clinical outcomes of and risk factors for secondary infections in patients with severe COVID-19.Methods: This study included patients with severe COVID-19 who were admitted to seven hospitals in South Korea between February 2020 to February 2021. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess factors associated with the risk of secondary infections.Results: Of the 348 included patients, 104 (29.9%) had at least one infection. There was no statistically significant difference in the 28-day mortality (17.3% vs. 12.3%, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt; = 0.214), but in-hospital mortality was higher (29.8% vs. 15.2%, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt; = 0.002) in the infected group than in the non-infected group. The risk factors for secondary infection were a high frailty scale (odds ratio [OR], 1.314; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.123 to 1.538; &lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt; = 0.001), steroid use (OR, 3.110; 95% CI, 1.164 to 8.309; &lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt; = 0.024), and the application of mechanical ventilation (OR, 4.653; 95% CI, 2.533 to 8.547; &lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt; &lt; 0.001).Conclusions: In-hospital mortality was more than doubled in patients with severe COVID-19 and secondary infections. A high frailty scale, the use of steroids and application of mechanical ventilation were risk factors for secondary infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3904\/kjim.2022.084","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,24]],"date-time":"2022-11-24T01:55:04Z","timestamp":1669254904000},"page":"68-79","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3904\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Clinical
