Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Infectious Diseases"
DOI: 10.1016/j.ijid.2021.12.258
Abstract: Purpose Predicting healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs) has the potential to revolutionise the prevention and control of transmissible infections. Existing prediction models for HAIs, however, fail to capture fully the contact-driven nature of infectious diseases. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/ice.2022.211
Abstract: Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of hospital-onset bacteremia and fungemia (HOB), identify hospital-level predictors, and to evaluate the feasibility of an HOB metric. Methods: We analyzed 9,202,650 admissions from 267 hospitals during 2015–2020. An… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ajcp/aqz022
Abstract: OBJECTIVES Concern exists regarding overdiagnosis of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) via molecular modalities. We determined effects of a preanalytic order intervention on laboratory and CDI prevention measures in a multihospital system. METHODS Intervals before and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofx163.1017
Abstract: Abstract Background Our goal was to reduce the rate of hospital-onset (HO) C. difficile (CD) by prompt testing in patients with diarrhea on hospital day (HD) 1–3 using a nurse-driven testing protocol (NTP) with PCR… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/ccm.0000000000003817
Abstract: OBJECTIVES Prior studies have reported that hospital-onset sepsis is associated with higher mortality rates than community-onset sepsis. Most studies, however, have used inconsistent case-finding methods and applied limited risk-adjustment for potential confounders. We used consistent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/mlr.0000000000001854
Abstract: Background: Clostridioides difficile is the leading cause of hospital-onset diarrhea and is associated with increased lengths of stay and mortality. While some hospitals have successfully reduced the burden of C. difficile infection (CDI), many still… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12916-020-01665-z
Abstract: Background Data from the UK COVID-19 outbreak are emerging, and there are ongoing concerns about a disproportionate effect on ethnic minorities. There is very limited information on COVID-19 in the over-80s, and the rates of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1212/cpj.0000000000000524
Abstract: Background New-onset seizures are frequently encountered in community and hospital settings. It is likely that seizures presenting in these distinct settings have different etiologies and prognoses, requiring different investigation and treatment approaches. We directly compare… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics9020096
Abstract: Excess length of stay (LOS) is an important outcome when assessing the burden of nosocomial infection, but it can be subject to survival bias. We aimed to estimate the change in LOS attributable to hospital-onset… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.65828
Abstract: Background: Rapid identification and investigation of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) is important for suppression of SARS-CoV-2, but the infection source for hospital onset COVID-19 infections (HOCIs) cannot always be readily identified based only on epidemiological data.… read more here.
