A point prevalence survey (PPS) was conducted in Italy 2010, as part of the first European PPS Long Term Care Facilities (LTCFs), within HALT Project.The aimed at estimating infections, antimicrobial resistance, and antibiotic use to assess status infections control programs this setting.Ninety two LTCFs, located 11 different Italian regions, participated study: 9391 residents were enrolled, 9285 whom eligible according study criteria. The with signs/symptoms infection 6.5% (606 residents);...
A national hand hygiene promotion campaign based on the World Health Organization (WHO) multimodal, Clean Care is Safer was launched in Italy 2007. One hundred seventy-five hospitals from 14 of 20 Italian regions participated. Data were collected using methods and tools provided by WHO campaign, translated into Italian. Hand compliance, ward infrastructure, healthcare workers' knowledge perception healthcare-associated infections evaluated before after implementation. Compliance data 65...
Abstract Objectives: To quantify the occurrence of surgical-site infections (SSIs) in an Italian region and to estimate proportion potentially avoidable through benchmarking comparison. Design: Prospective study during 1 month based on a convenience sample surgical patients admitted 31 public hospitals. All undergoing intervention included among 44 operative procedures National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) System were enrolled. Ninety-five percent actively observed after...
To describe the use of systemic antibiotics in paediatric population Emilia-Romagna region (Italy) during period 2000-2002.Data were extracted from drug prescription database Emilia-Romagna.Treatment rates within range 1016-1151 treatments per 1000 children-years, according to observed year. Chephalosporins most prescribed antibiotic class.The is heavily exposed antibiotics. Further studies are needed find out determinants overuse.
Objective: The aims of this work are to evaluate the validity and reliability manual assessment treatment, effectiveness therapy for non-specific adult thoracic pain. Data sources: Review literature. Databases consulte
The characteristics of laboratories performing tuberculosis (TB) diagnostic procedures were investigated in ten Italian Regions, through a mailed questionnaire. Three hundred and eighty answered (70.8 % response rate), 250 which performed directly at least one TB procedure. Standard criteria concerning microscopy, culture, identification, drug susceptibility testing frequently not satisfied, particularly those related to the volume activity (32 microscopy examined 10 samples 36 culture 20...
ObjectivesTo estimate the incidence of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in Emilia-Romagna Region (ER) by linking data Patient Hospital Discharge Form (PHDF) and microbiological labs.
Integrated surveillance of Healthcare infections (HAIs), antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and consumption (AC) is essential. Its impact in Emilia-Romagna (4.5 million inhabitants) described.
