The findings reported here are from a post hoc sub-analysis of the Population Study on Candidemia (CANDIPOP), a prospective, multicenter, population-based candidemia surveillance program implemented in 29 hospitals in Spain. The inclusion criteria, study population, main definitions, microbiological studies, and outcomes have been extensively described elsewhere . Briefly, during the study period local laboratories daily identified patients and reported them to study coordinators, who collected data using a standardized case report form. Data included demographic and clinical characteristics, risk factors for candidemia, antifungal management and source control. Thirty-day follow-up outcome was recorded for each patient. Given the observational nature of the study, patients were managed according to routine clinical care.
