This study aimed to ascertain the reliability of the McCabe score in a healthcare-associated infection point prevalence survey. A 10 European Union Member States survey in 20 hospitals (n = 1912) indicated that there was a moderate level of agreement (κ = 0.57) with the score. The reliability of the application of the score could be increased by training data collectors, particularly with reference to the ultimately fatal criteria. This is important if the score is to be used to risk adjust data to drive infection prevention and control interventions.
本研究旨在确定麦凯布评分在医疗相关感染现患率调查中的可靠性。一项在10个欧盟成员国的20家医院开展的调查(n = 1912)表明,对该评分的一致性处于中等水平(κ = 0.57)。通过培训数据收集者,特别是在最终致命标准方面进行培训,可提高该评分应用的可靠性。如果要使用该评分对数据进行风险调整以推动感染预防与控制干预措施,这一点很重要。
