متن کاملNEONATAL BLOODSTREAM INfECTIONS ACQUIRED fROM
Catheter–related bloodstream infections (CR-BSIs) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the NICU, occurring at rates ranging from 11.3 per 1,000 catheter days in infants <1,000 g to 4 per 1,000 catheter days in infants >2,500 g. Cost-effective and successful educational interventions aimed at nurses have been shown to decrease CR-BSIs with adults, but no such studies address neo...
متن کاملStemming from Hospital Acquired Infections
We introduce a Markov chain model to represent a patient's path in terms of the number and type of infections sjhe may have acquired during a hospitalization period. The model allows for categories of patient diagnoses, surgery, the four major types of nosocomial (hospitalacquired) infections and discharqe or death. Data from a national medical records survey including 58,647 patients enable us...
