まとめ
感染症は,外来医療施設で広がる可能性がありますが,十分にモニタリングされていません. 病院の感染制御の実践をクリニックで実施することで,感染症の感染のリスクを減らすことができます.
科学分野:
- 感染症 感染症は感染症です.
- 公衆衛生は公衆衛生である.
- ヘルスケア エピデミオロジー
背景:
- 外来医療の利用の増加は,感染症の伝播の可能性を高めています.
- 病院で発症する感染症と比較して, ambulatory setting で発症する感染症のモニタリングは不足しています.
- 職業上の感染に関する懸念は,病院以外の環境での警戒の必要性を強調しています.
研究 の 目的:
- 外来患者での伝染病の伝播の文書化された症例をレビューし,特徴づけること.
- 医療関連感染症のスペクトルと源を特定する.
- 野外診療施設における感染制御戦略の開発を参考にすること.
主な方法:
- 外来保健医療に関連した報告された感染症の体系的な文献レビュー.
- 1961年から1990年にかけての特定された症例とクラスターの流行病学的分析.
- 医療施設の種類による伝播イベントの分類.
主要な成果:
- 1961年から1990年までの間,外来患者での感染症の伝播に関する53件の報告を特定しました.
- 一般診療所,歯科診療所,眼科診療所など,さまざまな外来診療施設で感染が発生した.
- 一般診療所 (23) と歯科診療所 (13) のような特定の環境は,報告された伝播イベントで注目されました.
結論:
- 外来診療の感染対策には,体系的なモニタリングと予防対策が必要です.
- 既存の入院感染対策の実践は, ambulatory care にも適応し,拡張されるべきである.
- 感染制御の責任の割り当ては,病院以外の環境で伝染リスクを減らすために不可欠です.
