Among 143 cases of National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), 40% were considered catheter-associated asymptomatic bacteriuria (CA-ASB), and 18% clinical CAUTI. An alternative source of fever was present in 70% of CA-ASB. NHSN CAUTI may not be an effective metric for tracking hospital-level infection prevention efforts.
在143例国家医疗安全网络(NHSN)导管相关尿路感染(CAUTI)病例中,40%被认为是导管相关无症状菌尿(CA-ASB),18%为临床CAUTI。70%的CA-ASB存在其他发热源。NHSN CAUTI可能不是追踪医院层面感染预防工作的有效指标。
