We reviewed the medical records of all the patients who died in our hospital during the period from 2004 through 2008 to determine the contribution of healthcare-associated infections to mortality. Of the 179 unexpected in-hospital deaths during that period, 55 (31%) were related to 69 healthcare-associated infections. The most common healthcare-associated infection was central line-associated bloodstream infection, and the most common organisms identified were members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. Overall, 45% of bacterial isolates were multidrug resistant.
我们回顾了 2004 年至 2008 年期间在我院死亡的所有患者的病历,以确定医院获得性感染对死亡率的影响。在这期间,179 例意外院内死亡中,有 55 例(31%)与 69 例医院获得性感染有关。最常见的医院获得性感染是中心静脉导管相关血流感染,最常见的病原体是肠杆菌科的成员。总的来说,45%的细菌分离株是多药耐药的。
