Declines in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) health care associated infections (HAIs) were previously reported in Veterans Affairs acute care (2012), spinal cord injury (SCIU) (2011), and long-term-care facilities (LTCFs) (2012). Here we report continuing declines in infection rates in these settings through September 2015.
Monthly data entered into a national database from 127 acute care facilities, 22 SCIUs, and 133 LTCFs were evaluated for trends using negative binomial regression.
There were 23,153,240 intensive care unit (ICU) and non-ICU, and 1,794,234 SCIU patient-days from October 2007-September 2015, and 22,262,605 LTCF resident-days from July 2009-September 2015. Admission nasal swabbing remained >92% in all 3 venues. Admission prevalence changed from 13.2%-13.5% in acute care, from 35.1%-32.0% in SCIUs, and from 23.1%-25.0% in LTCFs during the analysis periods. Monthly HAI rates fell 87.0% in ICUs, 80.1% in non-ICUs, 80.9% in SCIUs, and 49.4% in LTCFs (all P values < .0001 for trend). During September 2015, there were 2 MRSA HAIs reported in ICUs, 20 (with 3 in SCIUs) in non-ICUs, and 31 in LTCFs nationwide.
MRSA HAI rates declined significantly in acute care, SCIUs, and LTCFs over 8 years of the Veterans Affairs MRSA Prevention Initiative.
先前有报道称,退伍军人事务部的急性护理机构(2012年)、脊髓损伤机构(SCIU,2011年)和长期护理机构(LTCF,2012年)中耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)的医疗保健相关感染(HAI)有所下降。在此,我们报告这些机构截至2015年9月感染率持续下降的情况。
使用负二项回归对来自127家急性护理机构、22个SCIU和133个LTCF输入国家数据库的月度数据进行趋势评估。
2007年10月至2015年9月期间,重症监护病房(ICU)和非ICU有23,153,240个患者日,SCIU有1,794,234个患者日,2009年7月至2015年9月期间,LTCF有22,262,605个居民日。在所有3个场所,入院时鼻拭子检测率均保持>92%。在分析期间,急性护理机构的入院患病率从13.2% - 13.5%,SCIU从35.1% - 32.0%,LTCF从23.1% - 25.0%。每月HAI发生率在ICU下降了87.0%,非ICU下降了80.1%,SCIU下降了80.9%,LTCF下降了49.4%(所有趋势的P值均<0.0001)。2015年9月,全国范围内ICU报告了2例MRSA HAI,非ICU报告了20例(其中SCIU有3例),LTCF报告了31例。
在退伍军人事务部MRSA预防倡议的8年中,急性护理机构、SCIU和LTCF的MRSA HAI发生率显著下降。
