Central-line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are serious healthcare-associated infections with substantial morbidity and hospital costs.
To investigate the association between the incidence of CLABSIs, the implementation of specific infection control measures, and the incidence of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacteraemias in a tertiary care hospital in Greece from 2013 to 2018.
Analysis was applied for the following indices, calculated monthly: CLABSI rate; use of hand hygiene disinfectants; isolation rate of patients with MDR bacteria; and incidence of bacteraemias [total Gram-negative carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumanii, carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae; and Gram-positive meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant enterococci].
The total number of bacteraemias from carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens was significantly correlated with an increased CLABSI rate for all (total) hospital departments [incidence rate ratio (IRR) 1.17, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05-1.31, P=0.006] and the adult intensive care unit (ICU) (IRR 1.37, 95% CI 1.07-1.75, P=0.013). In the adult ICU, every increase in the incidence of each resistant Gram-negative pathogen was significantly correlated with a decreased CLABSI rate (carbapenem-resistant A. baumanii: IRR 0.59, 95% CI 0.39-0.90, P=0.015; carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae: IRR 0.48, 95% CI 0.25-0.94, P=0.031; carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa: IRR 0.54, 95% CI 0.33-0.89, P=0.015). The use of hand disinfectants was correlated with a decreased CLABSI rate 1-3 months before the application of this intervention for all (total) hospital departments (IRR 0.80, 95% CI 0.69-0.93, P=0.005), and for scrub disinfectants in the current month for the adult ICU (IRR 0.34, 95% CI 0.11-1.03, P=0.057). Isolation of patients with MDR pathogens was not associated with the incidence of CLABSIs.
Hand hygiene was associated with a significant reduction in the incidence of CLABSIs at the study hospital. Time-series analysis is an important tool to evaluate infection control interventions.
中心静脉相关血流感染(CLABSI)是一种严重的医疗相关感染,具有较高的发病率和住院费用。
研究 2013 年至 2018 年期间希腊一家三级保健医院 CLABSI 发生率、特定感染控制措施的实施与多药耐药(MDR)菌血症发生率之间的关系。
对以下每月计算的指标进行分析:CLABSI 发生率;手部卫生消毒剂的使用;MDR 细菌感染患者的隔离率;以及血培养阳性率[总革兰阴性碳青霉烯耐药鲍曼不动杆菌、碳青霉烯耐药铜绿假单胞菌和碳青霉烯耐药肺炎克雷伯菌;革兰阳性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌和万古霉素耐药肠球菌]。
耐碳青霉烯类革兰阴性病原体引起的总菌血症数量与所有(总)医院科室的 CLABSI 发生率呈显著正相关(发病率比 1.17,95%置信区间 1.05-1.31,P=0.006)和成人重症监护病房(ICU)(发病率比 1.37,95%置信区间 1.07-1.75,P=0.013)。在成人 ICU 中,每种耐药革兰阴性病原体的发病率增加与 CLABSI 发生率降低呈显著相关(耐碳青霉烯类鲍曼不动杆菌:发病率比 0.59,95%置信区间 0.39-0.90,P=0.015;耐碳青霉烯类肺炎克雷伯菌:发病率比 0.48,95%置信区间 0.25-0.94,P=0.031;耐碳青霉烯类铜绿假单胞菌:发病率比 0.54,95%置信区间 0.33-0.89,P=0.015)。手部消毒剂的使用与所有(总)医院科室的 CLABSI 发生率在干预前 1-3 个月呈显著负相关(发病率比 0.80,95%置信区间 0.69-0.93,P=0.005),且在当前月份成人 ICU 中用于刷手的消毒剂与 CLABSI 发生率呈显著负相关(发病率比 0.34,95%置信区间 0.11-1.03,P=0.057)。MDR 病原体感染患者的隔离与 CLABSI 发生率无关。
手部卫生与研究医院 CLABSI 发生率的显著降低有关。时间序列分析是评估感染控制干预措施的重要工具。
