This study investigated the disease burden of cryptococcosis in Taiwan over 14 years. Incident episodes of cryptococcosis, comorbidities, treatment, and outcomes were captured from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database and National Death Registry between 2002 and 2015. Of 6647 episodes analyzed, the crude incidence rate per 100 000 population increased from 1.48 in 2002 to 2.76 in 2015, which was driven by the growing trend in the non-CM group (0.86-2.12) but not in the CM group (0.62-0.64). The leading three comorbidities were diabetes mellitus (23.62%), malignancy (22.81%), and liver disease (17.42%). HIV accounted for 6.14% of all episodes and was associated with the highest disease-specific incidence rate (269/100 000 population), but the value dropped 16.20% biennially. Within 90 days prior to cohort entry, 30.22% of episodes had systemic corticosteroid use. The in-hospital mortality of all episodes was 10.80%, which varied from 32.64% for cirrhosis and 13.22% for HIV to 6.90% for SOT. CM was associated with a higher in-hospital mortality rate than non-CM (19.15% vs. 6.33%). At diagnosis, only 48.53% of CM episodes were prescribed an amphotericin-based regimen. The incidence rate of cryptococcosis was increasing, especially that other than meningitis and in the non-HIV population. A high index of clinical suspicion is paramount to promptly diagnose, treat, and improve cryptococcosis-related mortality in populations other than those with HIV infection or SOT. |
