Objectives: We report the results of International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium prospective surveillance study from January 2004 to December 2009 in 33 pediatric intensive care units 16 countries and impact being a private vs. public hospital income country level on device-associated health care-associated infection rates. Additionally, we aim compare these findings with Centers for Disease Prevention National Healthcare Safety Network annual show differences between developed...
No data currently exist about use of antibiotics to prevent surgical site infections (SSI) among patients undergoing appendectomy in Thailand. We therefore examined risk factors, use, and efficacy prophylactic for infection SSI with uncomplicated open appendectomy.From July 1, 2003 June 30, 2004 we conducted a prospective cohort study eight hospitals used the National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance (NNIS) system criteria identify associated appendectomy. logistic regression analysis...
In Brief Objective To determine postcesarean complications and identify independent risk factors for surgical site infection. Methods We studied a cohort of 969 women delivered by cesarean between May August 1997. Infections were determined examinations during ward rounds, reviews laboratory results, follow-up 30 days after discharge. Risk identified multiple logistic regression. Results Surgical rare. There febrile morbidity infection in 16.2% 12.4% subjects, respectively. Eighty-five...
To describe the patterns of nosocomial infections in patients with traumatic injuries and to compare associations between injury severity, derived from various severity scoring systems, subsequent infections.Prospective observational study.A 750-bed university hospital serving as a medical school referral center for southern part Thailand.All trauma admitted more than 3 days during 1996 1999 were eligible this study.The was measured terms score (ISS), revised (RTS), new (NISS), (TRISS)....
To identify factors associated with developing nosocomial bloodstream infection (NBI) and to fatal outcome of NBI.Prospective matched unmatched case-control studies.Songklanagarind Hospital, a 640-bed medical school referral center in Songkla, Thailand.During two-year study period, 277 patients 17,829 total admissions the hospital services medicine, surgery, pediatrics, orthopedics acquired infections during hospitalization. For purpose identifying mortality attributed NBI, who died from NBI...
Surveillance of surgical site infections (SSI) provides data upon which interventions to improve patient safety can be based. In Thailand, however, SSI surveillance has not yet been standardized.To develop a standardized system and monitor rates after introduction such system.We conducted prospective study among 17,752 patients who underwent surgery in ten hospitals Thailand from April 2004 May 2005. The were computed benchmarked with the US rates, reported terms infection ratio (SIR). We...
Risk stratifications to predict development of surgical site infections (SSI) are crucial methods before surgery. Hence, we aimed compare the performance risk adjustment between former NNIS index and new NHSN procedure-specific model for postoperative colorectal SSI.A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Data post-colorectal SSI, indicating use SSI adjustment, were retrieved from medical records. taken patients who underwent surgery procedures January 2005 December 2016. Additional...
Tasks involved in traditional charcoal production expose workers to various levels of dust and wood smoke. This study aimed identify specific tasks influencing lung function respiratory symptoms.Interviews, direct observation, task/symptom checklists were used collect data from 50 charcoal-production on 3 nonwork days followed by 11 workdays. The peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) was measured four times per day.The PEFR reduced the prevalence symptoms increased over first 6-7 until evening...
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension based on Thai Guideline Treatment Hypertension 2012, 7th report Joint National Committee Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and High Blood Pressure (JNC7) its recently released version, 8th (JNC8).Material Method: We screened 1,311 hypertensive patients who visited Primary Care Unit at Songklanagarind Hospital from October to December 2013. The outcome this cross-sectional study was JNC7 JNC8.Results: included a total 1,181...
Objective: To analyze the results from surveillance of hemodialysis-related infections.Material and Methods: Data was prospectively gathered outpatients attending a hemodialysis unit April 2019 until March 2023. The National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Dialysis Event Surveillance used to identify three types infection-related dialysis events. rates were calculated stratified by vascular access type, standardized infection ratios for bloodstream infections (BSI), intravenous...
