Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.7K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Urinary Tract Infection III: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

15
A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Limited data exists on the comparative performance of infectious disease-specialized ICUs versus other ICUs for community-acquired central nervous system infections (CNSI).
  • There is a need for benchmarking and case-mix classification in CNSI treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the treatment performance of community-acquired central nervous system infections (CNSI) in an infectious disease-specialized ICU versus other ICUs.
  • To establish a basis for benchmarking and case-mix classification for CNSI treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective observational cohort study of 82 CNSI cases in an infectious disease ICU (INI) from January 2012 to January 2019.
  • Comparison with 303,500 intensive care admissions from the Brazilian public health system (SUS) using Epimed Monitor database.
  • Collected clinical, epidemiologic, and performance indicators, including standardized mortality rate (SMR) and standardized resource use rate (SRU).

Main Results:

  • The INI ICU had an SMR of 1.1 and SRU of 1.1 for all patients, and an SMR of 0.95 and SRU of 1.01 for CNSI patients.
  • SUS Mixed medical/surgical ICUs showed SMR = 1.26, SRU = 1.59.
  • SUS Neurological ICUs showed SMR = 1.17, SRU = 2.23.

Conclusions:

  • Patients with severe CNSI are treated more efficiently and effectively in infectious disease-specialized ICUs.
  • This study provides valuable profiling and case-mix data for benchmarking CNSI treatment across institutions and countries.
