Importance In January 2023, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Food Drug Administration noted a safety concern ischemic stroke among adults aged 65 years or older who received Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2; WT/OMI BA.4/BA.5 COVID-19 bivalent vaccine. Objective To evaluate risk after administration of (1) either brand vaccine, (2) plus high-dose adjuvanted influenza vaccine on same day (concomitant administration), (3) Design, Setting, Participants Self-controlled case series...
OBJECTIVE To report the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium surveillance data from 40 hospitals (20 cities) in India 2004–2013. METHODS Surveillance using US National Healthcare Safety Network’s criteria and definitions, methodology. RESULTS We collected 236,700 ICU patients for 970,713 bed-days Pooled device-associated healthcare-associated infection rates adult pediatric ICUs were 5.1 central line–associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs)/1,000 line–days, 9.4 cases of...
Hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) often receive antibiotics for suspected bacterial coinfection. We estimated the incidence of coinfection and secondary in COVID-19 using clinical diagnoses to determine how frequently are administered when is absent. performed a retrospective cohort study inpatients present on admission hospitals Premier Healthcare Database between April June 2020. Bacterial infections were defined ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes associated "present...

Despite improvements in neonatal intensive care, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. “Leaky gut,” or intestinal barrier immaturity with elevated permeability, is the proximate susceptibility to NEC. Early detection intervention prevent leaky gut “at-risk” preterm neonates are critical for decreasing risk potentially life-threatening complications like
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether pregnancy is an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality among patients of reproductive age hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) viral pneumonia. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study (April 2020–May 2021) 23,574 female inpatients aged 15–45 years International Classification Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis code COVID-19 discharged from 749 U.S. hospitals in the Premier Healthcare Database. used...
Background: Short-term peripheral venous catheter–associated bloodstream infection rates have not been systematically studied in Asian countries, and data on infections incidence by number of short-term catheter days are available. Methods: Prospective, surveillance study conducted from 1 September 2013 to 31 May 2019 262 intensive care units, members the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium, 78 hospitals 32 cities 8 countries South-East Asia Region: China, India, Malaysia,...
Abstract Objective: To assess preventability of hospital-onset bacteremia and fungemia (HOB), we developed evaluated a structured rating guide accounting for intrinsic patient extrinsic healthcare-related risks. Design: HOB was compared against reference standard expert panel. Participants: A 10-member panel clinical experts assembled as the assessment, 2 physician reviewers applied comparison. Methods: The independently rated 82 hypothetical scenarios using 6-point Likert scale collapsed...
Abstract Objective: Hospital readmission is unsettling to patients and caregivers, costly the healthcare system, may leave at additional risk for hospital-acquired infections other complications. We evaluated association between comorbidities present during index coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitalization of 30-day readmission. Design, setting, participants: used Premier Healthcare database perform a retrospective cohort study COVID-19 hospitalized discharged April 2020 March 2021...
To evaluate the efficacy of a new continuously active disinfectant (CAD) to decrease bioburden on high-touch environmental surfaces compared standard in intensive care unit.A single-blind randomized controlled trial with 1:1 allocation.Medical unit (MICU) at an urban tertiary-care hospital.Adult patients admitted MICU and contact precautions.A CAD wipe used for daily cleaning.Samples were collected from 5 before cleaning 1, 4, 24 hours after cleaning. The primary outcome was mean secondary...
Abstract Background While safety of influenza vaccines is well-established, some studies have suggested potential associations between and certain adverse events (AEs). This study examined the 2022–2023 among U.S. adults ≥ 65 years. Methods A self-controlled case series compared incidence rates anaphylaxis, encephalitis/encephalomyelitis, Guillain Barré-Syndrome (GBS), transverse myelitis following seasonal vaccinations (i.e., any, high-dose or adjuvanted) in risk control intervals Medicare...
ABSTRACT In January 2023, the United States Food and Drug Administration Centers for Disease Control Prevention noted a safety concern ischemic stroke in adults ≥65 years receiving BNT162b2; WT/OMI BA.4/BA.5 COVID-19 bivalent vaccine. This self-controlled case series analysis evaluated risk among Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries aged receiving: 1) Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2; BA.4/BA.5) or Moderna (mRNA-1273.222) vaccine, 2) high-dose/adjuvanted influenza vaccines, 3) concomitant...
Abstract Background Hospital-onset bacteremia and fungemia (HOB) is being proposed as a potential healthcare quality measure due to its clinical significance, objectivity, ease of detection. However, information lacking on sources HOB the proportion types cases considered preventable. Methods We evaluated preventability at 12 hospitals using retrospective chart review. was defined positive blood culture >= day 4 (admission date=day 1) for one or more organisms. Stratified sampling by...
Abstract The transmission rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to gloves or gowns healthcare personnel (HCP) caring for MRSA patients in a non–intensive care unit setting was 5.4%. Contamination rates were higher among HCP performing direct patient and when had detectable on their body. These findings may inform risk-based contact precautions.
Abstract We studied the association between chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) concentration on skin and resistant bacterial bioburden. CHG was almost always detected skin, detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus , carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus sites infrequent. However, we found no correlation
Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is associated with difficult to treat infections and high levels of morbidity. It importance assess the effectiveness surveillance screening programs in prevention MRSA infection.

ABSTRACT “Leaky gut”, or high intestinal barrier permeability, is common in preterm newborns. The role of microbiota this process remains largely uncharacterized. We employed both short- and long-read sequencing the 16S rRNA gene metagenomes to characterize microbiome a longitudinal cohort 113 infants born between 24 0/7 -32 6/7 weeks gestation. Enabled by enhanced taxonomic resolution, we found significantly increased abundance Bifidobacterium breve diet rich mother’s breastmilk be...
