Abstract:
381 patients from the Naples Polyclinic - University II were submitted to a pilot study aimed at detecting the prevalence rate of hospital infections. The period examined ranges from January 1999 to January 2000 and the whole survey was aimed at detecting the extent of such infections so as to foster an infection-control system. Data have shown a 6.8% prevalence rate, with a higher risk of infection for surgical patients and those undergoing invasive procedures.
