Title

HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED INFECTIONS IN ELDERLY VERSUS YOUNGER PATIENTS IN AN ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL

Pages

  0-0

Abstract

 Background: A growing number of ELDERLY patients are hospitalized for various causes and age has been described inconsistently as a risk factor for acquiring nosocomial infections with a subsequent higher MORTALITY rate compared to younger patients.Objectives: To describe the incidence, type, and microbiological characteristics of nosocomial infections in ELDERLY and non-ELDERLY patients.Patients and Methods: Retrospective analysis of all hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) in an academic community hospital. Patients were stratified into two groups: non-ELDERLY (18 - 64 years) and ELDERLY (> 65 years).Results: A total of 18469 patients were included (108555 hospital days) in this study. About 79.6% of HAI were infected non-ELDERLY and 20.3% ELDERLY (P<0.0001) patients. Higher infection rates for VENTILATOR-ASSOCIATED PNEUMONIA (VAP), secondary bacteremia, and catheter-associated urinary tract infections were noted for ELDERLY as well as a higher frequency of positive cultures for GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA, particularly Klebsiella spp. and fungal infections (P>0.05). Hospital MORTALITY increased with every HAI diagnosed per patient.Conclusions: The study showed that HAIs were more frequent in ELDERLY population predominately with respect to VAP and infections by Gram-negative pathogens. Overall mortally was greater in the ELDERLY group although the odds ratio for death was higher in younger patients and increased with every HAI diagnosed.
