Objective  To know the status quo of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infection in primary general hospitals, analyze the differences among various intervention measures, and put forward guiding principles for MDRO infection control in primary general hospitals. Methods  We investigated all patients (n=51 612) admitted into the hospital between January 2013 and December 2015, and found out 6 types of MDRO. Pre-interventional investigation was carried out between January 2013 and June 2014 (before intervention) during which no intervention measures were taken; Intervention was carried out between July 2014 and December 2015 (after intervention). All departments in the hospital (6 groups) were matched with intervention measures (6 groups) randomly. Then, we compared the MDRO detection rate, nosocomial infection case rate and intervention compliance rate among the groups. Results  We detected altogether 611 MDRO cases (without duplication) out of the 51 612 cases. The total detection rate of MDRO was 1.18%. The detection rate of MDRO before and after intervention was 1.37% and 1.01%, respectively. The difference between the two was of statistical significance (P<0.05). After the intervention, the detection rate in groups 1, 5 and 6 was significantly lower than before (P<0.05); the differences in detection rate among groups 2, 3, and 4 were not significant (P> 0.05). Nosocomial infection rate decreased from 0.28% before intervention to 0.14% after intervention (P<0.05). After the intervention, MDRO nosocomial infection case rate of groups 1, 5 and 6 was significantly lower than before (P<0.05); the rate was lower in groups 3 and 4 than before without any significance (P>0.05); no MDRO cases were detected in group 2 and comparison was meaningless. The knowledge rates of medical workers and of nursing staff increased from 52.97% and 20.00% before intervention to 78.76% and 66.34% after intervention, respectively (χ2=30.670, 38.604;P<0.05). The compliance to all kinds of protection measures improved significantly (P<0.05) except compliances to equipment of hand antiseptic agent and patient transfer order (P> 0.05). Conclusion  Promoting the compliance rate to hand hygiene and environmental cleaning and disinfection, primary general hospitals can decrease the detection rate and nosocomial infection case rate of MDRO.
