Hand hygiene (HH) is among the most effective measures for reducing transmission of healthcare-associated infections and SARS-CoV-2. We aimed to assess HH practices healthcare workers (HCWs) three hub hospitals in Northern Italy during COVID-19 pandemic, by assessing compliance measured direct observation alcohol-based handrub usage. An observational study was conducted over a period months, between February April 2021. audits were using WHO My 5 Moments approach. Multivariable logistic...
Candida auris (CA) is an emerging fungus, classified as urgent global health threat, that resists common antifungal drugs and decontamination procedures; identification requires specific tools; transmissibility mortality are high in healthcare settings. Infection colonisation can be long-lasting, leading to problems isolation procedures the risk of outbreaks. This study aims evaluate publication citation related metrics, identify major keywords topics, assess geographic distribution...
Antibiotic misuse and overuse are important contributors to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs coordinated sets actions aiming promote appropriate antibiotic use, improving patient outcomes whilst reducing AMR. Two main organizational models for AMS have been described: restrictive strategies (RS) vs. enabling (ES). Evaluating understanding social cultural influences on decision-making critical successful sustainable context-specific...
Population Medicine considers the following types of articles:• Research Papers -reports data from original research or secondary dataset analyses.• Review -comprehensive, authoritative, reviews within journal's scope.These include both systematic and narrative reviews.• Short Reports -brief reports research.• Policy Case Studies articles on policy development at a regional national level.• Study Protocols -articles describing protocol study.• Methodology -papers that present different...
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a global public health threat. Italy is one of the countries with highest prevalence HAI. Hand hygiene (HH) pillar infection prevention and control. Monitoring HH necessary to improve compliance, direct observation considered gold standard. Transcription analysis data collected during compliance WHO paper form time-consuming. We collected, 9-day period, opportunities both smartphone application (SpeedyAudit) form. Then, we investigated difference...

Abstract Background The increasing spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a global public health threat, and significant challenge for healthcare delivery. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs have proven to be effective cost-effective strategies optimizing use. We aimed assess key aspects AMS implemented in acute-care trusts the region Piedmont, evaluate changes usage against score we attributed structural functional elements programs. Methods operating Piedmont were...
