- Carbapenemase-producing entities (CPE) are a major cause of carbapenem-resistant infections, prompting focus on their transmission and treatment methods.
- The study analyzed 77 patients, identifying 51 with CPE colonization and 26 with active infections, revealing a strong link between ICU treatment and CPE acquisition risk.
- Key risk factors included recent hospitalization, ICU stays, open wounds, and the use of catheters or tubes, suggesting the need for regular screening of high-risk patients.
Purpose: This research was done to identify the hospital arrival rate and factors related to prehospital delay in arriving at an emergency medical center within the golden time after symptom onset in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: Data used in the research was from the National Emergency Department Information System of the National Emergency Medical Center which reported that in 2014, 9,611 patients went to emergency medical centers for acute myocardial infarction. Prehospital time is the time from onset to arrival at an emergency medical center and is analyzed by subdividing arrival and delay based on golden time of 2 hour.
