Physician Perceptions Regarding Antimicrobial Use in End-of-Life Care
Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology - Tập 39 Số 4 - Trang 383-390 - 2018
Christopher E. Gaw, Keith Hamilton, Jeffrey S. Gerber, Julia E. Szymczak
BACKGROUNDThe decision to utilize antimicrobials in end-of-life situations is complex. Understanding the reasons why physicians prescribe antimicrobials in this patient population is important for informing the design of antimicrobial stewardship interventions.METHODSA 51-item survey containing both closed and open-ended questions on end-of-life antimicrobial use was administered to physicians aff... hiện toàn bộ
Pilot study of a combined genomic and epidemiologic surveillance program for hospital-acquired multidrug-resistant pathogens across multiple hospital networks in Australia

Leroi, Caroline M. Reed, Michael J. Richards, Monica A. Slavin, Leon J. Worth, Benjamin P. Howden, M. Lindsay Grayson
AbstractObjectives:To conduct a pilot study implementing combined genomic and epidemiologic surveillance for hospital-acquired multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) to predict transmission between patients and to estimate the local burden of MDRO transmission.Design:Pilot prospective multicenter surveillance study.Setting:The study was conducted in 8 university hospitals (2,800 beds total) in Melb... hiện toàn bộ
Spread of a Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST80-IV Clone in a Danish Community
Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology - Tập 26 Số 2 - Trang 144-149 - 2005
Tinna Ravnholt Urth, Gitte Juul, Robert Skov, Henrik Carl Schønheyder
AbstractObjective:We report a community cluster of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Denmark with emphasis on routes of transmission and infection control measures. The objective is to extend knowledge of MRSA in a community setting where a nosocomial link could effectively be ruled out.Design:Population-based observational study from November 1997 until June 2003.Setting:North... hiện toàn bộ

Objective.To describe the frequency of selected antimicrobial resistance patterns among pathogens causing device-associated and procedure-associated healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) reported by hospitals in the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN).Methods.Data are included on HAIs (ie, central line-associated bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, ventila... hiện toàn bộ
Self-reported beta-lactam allergy and the risk of surgical site infection: A retrospective cohort study

Philip W. Lam, Payam Tarighi, Marion Elligsen, Keith Gunaratne, Avery B. Nathens, Jordan Tarshis, Jerome A. Leis
AbstractObjective:To assess whether a self-reported β-lactam allergy is associated with an increased risk of surgical site infection (SSI) across a broad range of procedures and to determine whether this association is mediated by the receipt of an alternate antibiotic to cefazolin.Design:Retrospective cohort study.Participants:Surgical procedures sampled by an institutional National Surgical Qual... hiện toàn bộ

The Role Played by Contaminated Surfaces in the Transmission of Nosocomial Pathogens
Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology - Tập 32 Số 7 - Trang 687-699 - 2011
Jonathan A. Otter, Saber Yezli, G L French
Studies in the 1970s and 1980s suggested that environmental surface contamination played a negligible role in the endemic transmission of healthcare-associated infections. However, recent studies have demonstrated that several major nosocomial pathogens are shed by patients and contaminate hospital surfaces at concentrations sufficient for transmission, survive for extended periods, persist despit... hiện toàn bộ
