Abstract Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to a global increase in healthcare-associated infections (HAI) among intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Whether this is directly attributable COVID-19 or whether the indirectly (via staff shortages breaches infection prevention measures) increase, remains unclear. objectives of study were assess HAI incidence and identify independent risk factors for non-COVID-19 ICU Methods We established monocentric prospective...

Shortening the duration of antibiotic therapy (DAT) for common infectious diseases may be an effective strategy to tackle antimicrobial resistance. Shorter DAT has been proven safe and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), cellulitis, cholangitis.In a retrospective multicentre quality-control study, medical records 770 patients hospitalized with CAP, cholangitis at three tertiary care hospitals in Switzerland during 2017-2018 were randomly selected. Appropriateness treatment was assessed...
