    The study analyzed 458 inpatients with confirmed Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infections from June 2023 to July 2025.

  • 2

    In-hospital mortality was 11.8%, with non-survivors exhibiting higher age, comorbidity, and severe clinical characteristics.

  • 3

    Age and Charlson Comorbidity Index were independently associated with mortality, while mechanical ventilation's association was not statistically significant.

  • 4

    Previous carbapenem exposure did not significantly affect mortality, suggesting it may indicate underlying disease complexity.

  • 5

    The appropriateness of initial empirical antimicrobial therapy was not independently linked to survival after adjusting for severity factors.
