Nursing home and long-term care facility residents live in congregate settings are often elderly frail, putting them at high risk for infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, severe COVID-19-associated outcomes; therefore, this population was prioritized early vaccination United States (1). Following rapid distribution administration of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech Moderna) under an Emergency Use Authorization by Food Drug Administration (2), observational...
During the beginning of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, nursing homes were identified as congregate settings at high risk for outbreaks COVID-19 (1,2). Their residents also are higher than general population morbidity and mortality associated with infection SARS-CoV-2, virus that causes COVID-19, in light association severe outcomes older age certain underlying medical conditions (1,3). CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) launched nationwide, facility-level home...
Abstract Objective: To describe common pathogens and antimicrobial resistance patterns for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) among pediatric patients that occurred in 2015–2017 were reported to the Centers Disease Control Prevention’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). Methods: Antimicrobial data analyzed implicated central line-associated bloodstream (CLABSIs), catheter-associated urinary tract (CAUTIs), ventilator-associated pneumonias (VAPs), surgical site (SSIs). This...
Nursing home residents have experienced disproportionally high levels of COVID-19-associated morbidity and mortality were prioritized for early COVID-19 vaccination (1). Following reported declines in vaccine-induced immunity after primary series vaccination, defined as receipt 2 doses an mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2 [Pfizer-BioNTech] or mRNA-1273 [Moderna]) 1 dose Ad26.COV2 (Johnson & Johnson [Janssen]) (2), CDC recommended that all persons aged ≥12 years receive a booster dose.* Moderately to...
OBJECTIVE. We sought to determine the impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy on incidence and prevalence opportunistic infections in HIV-infected children. METHODS. Children born from 1986 1998 were monitored until 2004 Perinatal AIDS Collaborative Transmission Study, sponsored by Centers for Disease Control Prevention. determined pre–highly post–highly (before after January 1, 1997, respectively) rates among children characterized temporal decreases percentages CD4+ cells mortality...
A National Spina Bifida Patient Registry (NSBPR) was begun in 2009 to help understand the natural history of spina bifida (SB) and effects treatments provided by SB clinics. We used NSBPR explore relationship sociodemographic characteristics with outcomes.Using data collected 2012, we examined unadjusted association between demographic 4 outcomes: bowel continence, bladder mobility, presence pressure sores. then developed multivariable logistic models these relationships while controlling...
Health care-associated antibiotic-resistant (AR) infections increase patient morbidity and mortality might be impossible to successfully treat with any antibiotic. CDC assessed health (HAI), including Clostridium difficile (CDI), the role of six AR bacteria highest concern nationwide in several types care facilities.During 2014, approximately 4,000 short-term acute hospitals, 501 long-term 1,135 inpatient rehabilitation facilities all 50 states reported data on specific National Healthcare...
Invasive nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections may result from a previously unrecognized source of transmission, heater-cooler devices (HCDs) used during cardiac surgery. In July 2015, the Pennsylvania Department Health notified Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about cluster NTM among cardiothoracic surgical patients at 1 hospital. We conducted case-control study to identify exposures causing infection, examining 11 case-patients 48 control-patients. Eight (73%) had...
During March 27-July 14, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Healthcare Safety Network extended its surveillance to hospital capacities responding COVID-19 pandemic. The data showed wide variations across hospitals in case burden, bed occupancies, ventilator usage, healthcare personnel supply status. These were used inform emergency responses.
Abstract BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to describe the development and early implementation a national spina bifida (SB) patient registry, goal which is monitor health status, clinical care, outcomes people with SB by collecting analyzing data from comprehensive clinics. METHODS Using web‐based, SB‐specific electronic medical record, 10 clinics collected health‐related information for patients diagnosed myelomeningocele, lipomyelomeningocele, fatty filum, or meningocele. This...
Persons receiving maintenance dialysis are at increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection and its severe outcomes, including death. However, rates of COVID-19-related deaths in this population not well described. Since November 2020, CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) has collected weekly data monitoring incidence infections (defined as a positive test result) the death patient who had fully recovered from infection) among patients. This analysis used NHSN facility COVID-19 reported...
Nursing home residents have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; their age, comorbidities, and exposure to a congregate setting has placed them at high risk for both infection severe COVID-19-associated outcomes, including death (1). Receipt of primary mRNA vaccination series (2) monovalent booster doses (3) demonstrated be effective in reducing COVID-19-related morbidity mortality this population. Beginning October 2022, National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN)...
Abstract Background CDC recommends that residents and healthcare personnel (HCP) in nursing homes be up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations protect residents, who are at increased risk for severe COVID-19. vaccination coverage is often lower rural versus urban populations; it unclear if this applies HCPs homes. We assessed the association of urbanicity up-to-date HCP U.S. Methods conducted a cross-sectional study 14,304 reporting CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) week ending...
We examined the association between influenza vaccination policies at acute care hospitals and coverage among healthcare personnel for 2021-22 season. Mandatory masking unvaccinated were associated with increased odds of vaccination. Hospital employees had higher than licensed independent practitioners.
The Standardized Antimicrobial Administration Ratio (SAAR) is a risk-adjusted metric of antimicrobial use (AU) developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2015 as tool hospital stewardship programs (ASPs) to track compare AU with national benchmark. In 2018, CDC updated SAAR expanding locations categories which SAARs can be calculated modeling adult pediatric separately.We identified eligible patient-care defined categories. Predictive models were using negative...
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that health care personnel (HCP) receive an annual influenza vaccine and everyone aged ≥6 months stay up to date with recommended COVID-19 vaccination. Health facilities report vaccination of HCP against CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). During January-June 2023, NHSN defined up-to-date as receipt a bivalent mRNA dose or completion primary series within the preceding 2 months. This analysis describes coverage among...
The rapid spread of severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) throughout key regions the United States in early 2020 placed a premium on timely, national surveillance hospital patient censuses. To meet that need, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), nation's largest system, launched module collecting disease 2019 (COVID-19) data. We present time-series estimates critical capacity indicators from April 1 to July 14, 2020.
