- This study focused on understanding how often Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are acquired by inpatients with resistance to 3rd generation cephalosporins in a hospital in Lebanon, while also creating a risk prediction score for such acquisitions.
- Researchers compared two groups of patients: those infected with carbapenem-resistant strains (cases) and those with carbapenem-sensitive strains (controls), utilizing statistical analysis tools to identify significant risk factors.
- Key findings showed that the rate of CRE acquisition rose over time, with specific conditions like cerebrovascular disease and chronic wounds significantly increasing the risk of acquiring resistant strains.
We operated on 138 patients for intestinal obstruction. The different causes are discussed and their pattern of occurrence is compared with that reported from England and other African countries. The 27.
