Full article: Health care-associated infections
Abstract: Health care-associated infections (HCAIs) are infections that occur while receiving health care, developed in a hospital or other health care facility that first appear 48 hours or more after hospital admission, or within 30 days after having received health care. Multiple studies indicate that the common types of adverse events ...

Healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial use in acute care
Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are a global public health issue, representing a significant burden of disease that leads to prolonged hospital stays, inappropriate use of antimicrobial drugs, intricately linked to the development of resistant microorganisms, and higher costs for healthcare systems. The study aimed to measure the prevalence of HAIs, the use of antimicrobials, and ...
Reducing healthcare-associated infections incidence by a ...
Introduction. Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a global concern impairing the clinical outcome of up to 15% of all hospitalized patients in the world [].In Europe, about 3.2 million patients acquire a HAI every year, and 37,000 die as a HAI direct consequence and also because of the increasing multi-drug resistance (MDR) of HAI-associated pathogens [1, 2].
Pillars for prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) represent a relevant problem for all healthcare facilities, because they involve both the care aspect and the economic management of the hospital. Most HAIs are preventable through effective Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures. Implementation and improvement of IPC programs are critical to reducing the impact of these infections and the ...

2020 National and State Healthcare-Associated Infections Progress
Each day, approximately one in 31 U.S. patients contracts at least one infection in association with his or her hospital care, underscoring the need for improvements in patient care practices in U.S. healthcare facilities. While much progress has been made, more needs to be done to prevent healthcare-associated infections in a variety of settings.
Nurse Staffing and Healthcare Associated Infection, Unit-level Analysis
Of 100,264 patients in the final sample, 4,390 (4.34%) developed an HAI during the hospitalization, including 2,594 (59.1%) UTIs, 1,198 (27.3%) BSIs, and 751 (17.1%) PNUs. Table 1 summarizes the characteristics of the total study sample and those with and without a HAI. On average, the patients were 61 years old and half were female.
The burden of health care-associated infection worldwide
The burden of health care-associated infection worldwide. 29 April 2010. Health care-associated infection (HAI), also referred to as "nosocomial" or "hospital" infection, is an infection occurring in a patient during the process of care in a hospital or other health care facility which was not present or incubating at the time of admission.

BNT162b2 Vaccination and Long COVID After Infections Not Requiring
In this longitudinal observational study conducted among health care workers with SARS-CoV-2 infections not requiring hospitalization, 2 or 3 doses of vaccine, compared with no vaccination, were associated with lower long COVID prevalence. Study limitations include that symptoms and duration were self-reported, and causality cannot be inferred.
Targeting Health Care-Associated Infections: Evidence-Based Strategies
Background. Hospitalization for an acute illness, trauma, chronic care, or other health care conditions is a common occurrence. There were 39.2 million hospital discharges in 2005, with an average length of stay of 4.6 days. 1 Hospitalization brings associated risks, including risk of infection. Nosocomial infections, or hospital-associated infections, are estimated to occur in 5 percent of ...
Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs)
Anyone can get an NTM infection, but some groups are at increased risk. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a type of germ that can cause infections, mostly in healthcare settings. A surgical site infection occurs in the part of the body where a surgery took place. HAIs are a threat to patient safety. CDC is working to prevent and control these infections.
