Nosocomial Infection in Adult Admissions with Hematological Malignancies Originating from Different Lineages: A Prospective Observational Study

Background

Nosocomial infection (NI) causes prolonged hospital stays, increased healthcare costs, and higher mortality among patients with hematological malignancies (HM). However, few studies have compared the incidence of NI according to the HM lineage.

Objective

To compare the incidence of NI according to the type of HM lineage, and identify the risk factors for NI.

Methods

This prospective observational study monitored adult patients with HM admitted for >48 hours to the General Hospital of the People''s Liberation Army during 2010–2013. Attack rates and incidences of NI were compared, and multivariable logistic regression was used to control for confounding effects.

Results

This study included 6,613 admissions from 1,922 patients. During these admissions, 1,023 acquired 1,136 NI episodes, with an attack rate of 15.47% and incidence of 9.6‰ (95% CI: 9.1–10.2). Higher rates and densities of NIs were observed among myeloid neoplasm (MN) admissions, compared to lymphoid neoplasm (LN) admissions (28.42% vs. 11.00%, P<0.001 and 11.4% vs. 8.4‰, P<0.001). NI attack rates in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) were higher than those in MDS (30.69% vs. 20.19%, P<0.001; 38.89% vs. 20.19%, P = 0.003). Attack rates in T/NK-cell neoplasm and B-cell neoplasm were higher than those in Hodgkin lymphoma (15.04% vs. 3.65%; 10.94% vs. 3.65%, P<0.001). Multivariable regression analysis indicated prolonged hospitalization, presence of central venous catheterization, neutropenia, current stem cell transplant, infection on admission, and old age were independently associated with higher NI incidence. After adjusting for these factors, MN admissions still had a higher risk of infection (odds ratio 1.34, 95% CI: 1.13–1.59, P<0.001).

Conclusion

Different NI attack rates were observed for HM from different lineages, with MN lineages having a higher attack rate and incidence than LN lineages. Special attention should be paid to MN admissions, especially AML and MDS/MPN admissions, to control NI incidence.     

急性脑卒中患者医院感染分析

目的为探明急性脑卒中患者医院感染的特点及危险因素,以便采取有效控制措施。方法对温州医学院附属第一医院1997年1月1日～2002年12月31日6年间收治的4730例急性脑卒中患者进行监测。结果医院感染率为1252%。女性高于男性(P<005),感染率随年龄增大而升高(P<001)。医院感染多发生在入院2周内,感染部位以呼吸道为主(4796%),其次为泌尿道(3481%)。病原菌以G-菌为主(4309%),其次为G+菌(3091%)和真菌(2600%)。耐药菌株不断增加。结论免疫功能低下、侵袭性操作、滥用抗生素和激素是急性脑卒中患者医院感染的主要危险因素。加强对细菌耐药性的监测,合理选用抗生素,是减少或延缓耐药菌株产生的关键措施。     

Incidence of and Risk Factors for Infection or Colonization of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci in Patients in the Intensive Care Unit

The prevalence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) colonization or infection in the hospital setting has increased globally. Many previous studies had analysed the risk factors for acquiring VRE, based on cross-sectional studies or prevalent cases. However, the actual incidence of and risk factors for VRE remain unclear. The present study was conducted in order to clarify the incidence of and risk factors for VRE in the intensive care unit (ICU). From 1^st April 2008 to 31^st March 2009, all patients admitted to a surgical ICU (SICU) were put on active surveillance for VRE. The surveillance cultures, obtained by rectal swab, were taken on admission, weekly while staying in the SICU, and on discharge from the SICU. A total of 871 patients were screened. Among them, 34 were found to carry VRE before their admission to the SICU, and 47 acquired VRE during their stay in the SICU, five of whom developed VRE infections. The incidence of newly acquired VRE during ICU stay was 21.9 per 1000 patient-days (95% confidence interval [CI], 16.4–29.1). Using multivariate analysis by logistic regression, we found that the length of ICU stay was an independent risk factor for new acquisition of VRE. In contrast, patients with prior exposure to first-generation cephalosporin were significantly less likely to acquire VRE. Strategies to reduce the duration of ICU stay and prudent usage of broad-spectrum antibiotics are the keys to controlling VRE transmission.

目的:探讨原发性肾病综合征患儿发生院内感染的危险因素及有效的护理对策。方法:回顾性分析在我院儿科住院的原发性肾病综合征患儿的临床资料,用单因素分析与多因素非条件Logistic回归分析原发性肾病综合征(PNS)患儿发生院内感染危险因素,探究合理的护理对策对患儿疾病恢复的影响。结果:PNS患儿院内感染发生率为32(36.4%),以呼吸道感染为最常见部位18(56.3%)。PNS患儿发生院内感染组的免疫球蛋白G(Ig G)、免疫球蛋白A(Ig A)、ALB水平低于非感染组(P0.05),住院天数、24 h尿蛋白定量非感染组(P0.05)。住院天数和血清白蛋白(ALB)是院内感染独立的危险因素,其OR值(95%CI)分别为3.461(1.33~9.01)和2.215(0.87~5.63)。早期、合理的护理措施使PNS患儿疾病恢复良好。结论:住院天数长和血清白蛋白降低是并发院内感染的独立危险因素,健全院内感染控制制度、加强病房管理、完善护理措施等,可降低院内感染发生率,改善患者预后。     

Human cytomegalovirus: development and progression of nuclear inclusions by primary clinical isolates and laboratory-adapted strains

The morphogenesis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) nuclear inclusions (NIs) was investigated using unadapted clinical isolates and adapted laboratory strains. Both adapted and unadapted strains of CMVs induced NIs whose morphologic appearance was similar in human fibroblastic cells. Early NIs appeared as ring-like structures composed of dense granular and fibrillar material, while late NIs appeared to consist of multiple electron-lucent areas containing coarse granules and bounded by electron-dense fibrillar material (cellulae). Capsids and nucleocapsids were associated primarily with the electron-dense fibrillar material; however, developing nucleocapsids were most often observed at the interface of the electron-dense and -lucent areas. Although there was some variation in the rate of development and maturation of the NIs with the intensity of infection, all CMVs examined produced late NIs with similar organizational patterns consisting of cellulae. Substitution of human fibroblastic cells derived from various tissues as cellular substrate did not appreciably affect the results. Thus, the unique organization of the CMV late NI, consisting of multiple cellulae, appears to be an intrinsic feature of CMV replication since it seems to be independent of the extent of laboratory adaptation, the virus strain, the intensity of infection, or the cell type.     

Burnout syndrome--assessment of a stressful job among intensive care staff

The purpose of the study was to investigate the degree of burnout experienced by intensive care staff particularly, in Medical (MICU) and Surgical Intensive Care Units (SICU) General Hospital "Sveti Duh", Zagreb. A sample group of 41 emergency physicians and nurses from MICU and 30 from SICU was tested. The survey included demographic data and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scoring test identified by the three main components associated with burnout: emotional exhaustion (MBI-EE), depersonalization (MBI-DEP), and personal accomplishment (MBI-PA) were assessed using 22-item questionnaire. The degrees of burnout were stratified into low, moderate, and high range. Mean total MBI (X +/- SD) were high in both groups: higher for the MICU (65.5 +/- 6.7) than for SICU staff (55.7 +/- 3.8, p < 0.05). MICU staff showed moderate degree of MBI-EE (24.9 +/- 11.2), MBI-DEP (6.0 +/- 5.6), and as well as MBI-PA (34.4 +/- 8.8). The same parameters showed better results among SICU staff: low degree of MBI-EE (17.1 +/- 5.2), as well as low level of MBI-DEP (5.2 +/- 5.0), and moderate degree of MBI-PA (33.7 +/- 9.8). The differences between the groups was statistically significant only for the total MBI, and for MBI-EE (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences between MICU and SICU staff for MBI-DEP or MBI-PA parameters. Overall job burnout represented in a moderate degree. The presence of burnout is a serious phenomenon, because it can lead to psychosomatic complaints, work-associated withdrawal behaviour, and a lower quality of care at intensive care units. Early recognition of burnout phenomenon as a result of prolonged stress and frustration among intensive care staff, contributes to better professional behavior, organizational structure changes in the work environment and better health care quality for critically ill patients.

Frequency of nosocomial infections as revealed by a prevalence survey

In 1984, a prevalence survey based on the methodology, definitions and criteria meeting the WHO requirements was carried out in the Czech Socialist Republic. This prevalence study on a total of 12,260 hospital patients revealed 751 active cases of nosocomial infection (NI). The conclusions emerging from an epidemiological analysis of the collected NI patient records were as follows: 60% of all infections were acquired on the surgical services, predominantly on the surgery service; 60% of those who developed NI were persons over 50 years of age; hospital-associated infections afflicted 366 males and 385 females; the ratio of infections acquired prior to hospital presentation to those originating while in hospital care was about 4:1, with a tendency to vary depending on type of hospital service; the urinary tract was the most frequent site of infection (25%), followed by surgical wounds (15%) and upper respiratory tract (13%); 17% of NI patients contracted the infection in spite of preventive doses of antimicrobials, 28% of NI patients received no antimicrobial prophylaxis; among the 78% (589 out of 751) of patients examined bacteriologically, 46% of infections were caused by Gram-negative rods, 19% by staphylococci, 7% by streptococci and 6% by Pseudomonas aeruginosa; 22% of NI patients were not examined for the pathogen. The prevalence survey methodology turned out to be useful as a tool for detecting the immediate magnitude of the NI problem, but can also be used as a control method.
