The characteristics of the population and infections must be assessed to develop and apply preventive measures. Therefore, we aimed to characterize infections related to health care in patients in an adult intensive care unit in 2019. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive and retrospective study, performed in the adult intensive care unit of a reference, regional and tertiary hospital in the countryside of the state of São Paulo. We included data from patients over 18 years old who were in the adult intensive care unit of that hospital and diagnosed with infections officially related to health care in 2019. The data were analyzed by the descriptive statistics, Student’s t-test for quantitative variables and Pearson’s chi-square test for the categorical ones. The study was approved and excused of the written informed consent form (WICF) by the Human Research Ethics Committee. Results: The participants’ mean age was 55.6 years old (19.7 standard deviation), affecting mostly men (64%) and with comorbidities (72%), and the systemic arterial hypertension was the most prevalent one (43%). Regarding procedures and devices, most were on mechanical ventilation (87%), sedated (77%), using an indwelling urinary catheter (96%) and with a central venous catheter (94%). The isolated microorganism with the highest incidence was Klebsiella Pneumoniae (9%). Vancomycin was the most used antibiotic against microorganisms (66%). As an outcome, 47% of patients were discharged and 53% died. Conclusion: Klebsiella Pneumoniae was the most prevalent microorganism as well as the respiratory tract infections. The age was the only variable related to the outcome. 2022 artículo científico 2238-3360 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=570474392002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570474392002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570474392002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570474392002/570474392002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570474392002/movil https://doi.org/10.17058/reci.v12i1.16471 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5704 Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção application/pdf Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.12 |
