Discussion

Observational analysis investigates inflammatory responses in bloodstream infections, revealing age-related differences between sexes.

Females with bloodstream infections show higher C-reactive protein levels than males, particularly in those aged 50 and above.
In total, 24,074 patients contributed 268,648 specimens of C-reactive protein and 138,482 specimens of neutrophils for analysis.
Retrospective cohort study employed multilevel mixed effects linear regression analyses to assess sex and age differences in inflammatory responses.
Further exploration of sex differences in BSI is essential, particularly in relation to menopausal effects on inflammation.

Budtz et al. (2026) studied this question.
