Our survey of 112 Australian aged-care facilities demonstrated the prevalence of healthcare-associated infections to be 2.9%. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) defined by McGeer criteria comprised 35% of all clinically defined UTIs. To estimate the infection burden in these facilities where microbiologic testing is not routine, modified surveillance criteria for UTIs are necessary.
我们对112家澳大利亚老年护理机构的调查显示,医疗保健相关感染的患病率为2.9%。根据麦吉尔标准定义的尿路感染(UTIs)占所有临床确诊UTIs的35%。为了估计这些未进行常规微生物检测的机构中的感染负担,有必要采用改良的UTIs监测标准。
