Title

MORTALITY AMONG PATIENTS WITH NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS IN TERTIARY INTENSIVE CARE UNITS OF SAHLOUL HOSPITAL, SOUSSE, TUNISIA

Pages

  179-185

Abstract

 BACKGROUND: NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONs are public health issues that are associated with high MORTALITY in INTENSIVE CARE UNITs. This study aimed to determine NOSOCOMIAL INFECTION-associated MORTALITY in Tunisian INTENSIVE CARE UNITs and identify its RISK FACTORs.METHODS: A prospective cohort study was carried out in INTENSIVE CARE UNITs of a Tunisian University Hospital. The ICUs-wide active surveillance of NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONs has been performed between 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2011. Data collection was based on Rea-Raisin protocol 2009 of “Institut National de Veille Sanitaire” (InVS, Saint Maurice - France). We used Kaplan Meier survival analysis and Cox Proportional Hazard regression to identify independent RISK FACTORs of NOSOCOMIAL INFECTION-associated MORTALITY.RESULTS: Sixty-seven patients presented NOSOCOMIAL INFECTION in the end of the surveillance. The mean age of patients was 44.71 ± 21.2 years. Of them, 67.2% were male and 32.8% female. Nosocomial bacteremia was the most frequent infection (68.6%). NOSOCOMIAL INFECTION-associated MORTALITY rate was 35.8% (24/67). Bacteremia (Hazard Ratio (HR)) = 3.03, 95% Confidential Interval (95% CI): [1.23 – 7.45], P=0.016) and trauma (HR = 3.6, 95% CI: [1.16 – 11.2], P = 0.026) were identified by Cox regression as independent RISK FACTORs for NI-associated MORTALITY.CONCLUSIONS: Our rate was relatively high. We need to improve the care of trauma patients and intensify the fight against NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONs especially bacteremia.
