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.
ObjectiveTo study the direct economic burden of hospitalization in patients with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infection.MethodsPatients with CRE detected in Jianyang People’s Hospital between January 2017 and June 2019 were divided into infection group and colonization group, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the confounding factors, and then propensity score matching method was used to match the confounding factors of the two groups, finally the direct economic burden of hospitalization was compared between the two groups.ResultsA total of 2 013 patients were enrolled, including 507 CRE-infected patients and 1 506 CRE-colonized patients. Multiple linear regression results showed that factors affecting the direct economic burden of hospitalization included mechanical ventilation, intravenous catheterization, blood transfusion or use of blood products, urinary intubation, tracheotomy, gender, surgery, intensive care unit stay, main diagnosis, and the type of medical insurance, together with CRE infection (P<0.05). After propensity score matching, these confounding factors were well balanced between the infection group (n=249) and the colonization group (n=249), and the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The median of total hospitalization cost of CRE-infected patients was 1.29 times (15 589.23 yuan more than) that of CRE-colonized patients and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Z=–3.116, P=0.002). The top two types of hospitalization cost with largest differences in the medians were the cost of Western medicine (4 850.21 yuan; Z=–3.460, P=0.001) and the cost of laboratory diagnosis (2 613.00 yuan; Z=–3.529, P<0.001), respectively. The cost of antimicrobial drugs differed significantly between the two groups (Z=–3.391, P=0.001), and it was 1.54 times in patients with CRE infection what it was in patients with CRE colonization.ConclusionsThere are many factors affecting the direct economic burden of inpatients, and it is necessary to avoid the influence of confounding factors as far as possible during analysis. The economic burden of patients with CRE infection is significantly greater than that of CRE-colonized patients, so active measures should be adopted to prevent and control CRE infection.
Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics, mortality risk and risk factors of patients with carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), so as to provide references for the prevention and control of CRAB. Methods Inpatients with Acinetobacter baumannii were selected from the clinical samples in the intensive care unit of Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences and Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital between January 2018 and December 2021. The patients were divided into CRAB infection group, carbapenem-sensitive Acinetobacter baumannii (CSAB) infection group and CRAB colonization group. Survival analysis was used to analyze the mortality risk and its influencing factors in patients with CRAB infection. Results A total of 696 patients were included. Among them, there were 392 cases of CRAB infection, 267 cases of CRAB colonization, and 37 cases of CSAB infection. The factors that increased the 30-day mortality risk of CRAB mainly included blood transfusion or use of blood products, mechanical ventilation, respiratory failure, maximum procalcitonin and age. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 30-day mortality risk of CRAB infection group was higher than that of CSAB infection group（χ2=4.837, P=0.028), there was no significant difference between CRAB infection group and CRAB colonization group in 30-day mortality risk（χ2=0.219, P=0.640). Conclusions The mortality risk of CRAB infected patients is higher. Compared with the infection status, the 30-day mortality risk of patients is more attributed to drug resistance status. The effective method to control the mortality rate of CRAB should focus on reducing the hospital acquisition rate of CRAB.
ObjectiveTo analyze epidemic characteristics of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit (NSICU), and to analyze the status of infection and colonization, in order to provide reference for constituting intervention measures. MethodsPatients who stayed in NSICU during January 2014 to April 2015 were actively monitored for the MDRO situation. ResultsA total of 218 MDRO pathogens were isolated from 159 patients, and 42 cases were healthcare-associated infections (HAI) among 159 patients. The Acinetobacter baumannii was the most common one in the isolated acinetobacter. Colonization rate was positively correlated with the incidence of HAI. From January to December, there was a significantly increase in the colonization rate, but not in the incidence of HAI. ConclusionThe main MDRO situation is colonization in NSICU. The obvious seasonal variation makes the HAI risk at different levels. So it is necessary that full-time and part-time HAI control staff be on alert, issue timely risk warning, and strengthen risk management. The Acinetobacter baumannii has become the number one target for HAI prevention and control in NSICU, so their apparent seasonal distribution is worthy of more attention, and strict implementation of HAI prevention and control measures should be carried out.
Objective To understand the current situation of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) in comprehensive hospitals with a number of beds≥900, and provide a reference for the next step in formulating HAI prevention and control measures. Methods The data on the prevalence rate of HAI in comprehensive hospitals with a number of beds≥900 of Yunnan Province between 2020 and 2022 were retrospective collected. The HAI situation and trend in each year were analyzed. Results A total of 119 comprehensive hospitals were included, with 166 745 patients surveyed and 3 237 cases of HAI. Lower respiratory tract infection and urinary tract infection were the most common sites. The department with the highest incidence of hospital infections was the intensive care unit, followed by neurosurgery and hematology. The prevalence rates of HAI showed a downward trend from 2020 to 2022 (2.08% vs. 1.99% vs. 1.79%, χ2=14.301, P<0.001). A total of 1 315 strains of hospital-acquired pathogens were detected, all of which were mainly Gram-negative bacteria, with Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae being more common. The rate of antibiotics use and the rate of pathogen testing showed an upward trend from 2020 to 2022 (χ2=79.233, 23.866, P<0.001), the infection rate of incision site and the prophylactic use rate of antimicrobial drugs in patients with class Ⅰ surgery both showed a decreasing trend (χ2=15.551, 6.311, P<0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of infection in comprehensive hospitals of Yunnan Province is decreasing. But the supervision of key departments, the implementation of pathogen prevention and control measures, and the rational use of antibiotics in inpatients are still the focus of future work.

Methods We used self-administered questionnaires to investigate the basic medical services in primary medical institutions in August, 2008. Results The general situation of the three types of basic medical services (basic examination items, common disease diagnosis and treatment, family diagnosis and treatment and referrals) was not very good, but the development of basic examination items in the community health service center was better than that in villages and town hospitals or street service center. Among all kinds of first-grade medical health services, except for that the referral service in community health service center accounted for 100%, most of the first and second-grade medical health services were not fully developed. The proportion of X ray detection in community health service center and villages and town hospitals or street service center was about 50%, and the development of common disease diagnosis and treatment among the first grade medical health services accounted for only 30%. The proportion of family diagnosis and treatment and referrals was low. Conclusion The basic medial services in primary medical institutions should be strengthened, especially for the common disease diagnosis and treatment.
ObjectiveTo analyze targeted surveillance results of nosocomial infection in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and investigate the characteristics of nosocomial infection, in order to provide reference for constituting the intervention measures. MethodsWe monitored the incidence of nosocomial infection, the application and catheter-related infection of invasive operation, and the situation of multiple resistant bacteria screening and drug resistance characteristics of each patient who stayed more than two days in neurosurgical ICU during January to December 2013. ResultsThere were a total of 1 178 patients, and the total ICU stay was 4 144 days. The nosocomial infection rate was 4.92%, and the day incidence of nosocomial infection was 13.75‰. The nosocomial infection rate was significantly higher in January and between July and December compared with other months. Ventilator utilization rate was 9.75%; ventilator-associated pneumonia incidence density was 14.85 per 1 000 catheter-days; central line utilization rate was 28.40%; central line-associated bloodstream infection incidence density was 0.85 per 1 000 catheter-days; urinary catheter utilization rate was 97.90%; and the incidence density of catheter-associated urinary tract infection was 0.25 per 1 000 catheter-days. ConclusionThe nosocomial infection rate has an obvious seasonal characteristic in neurosurgical intensive care unit, so it is necessary to make sure that the hospital infection control full-time and part-time staff should be on alert, issue timely risk warning, and strengthen the risk management of hospital infection.
