Article Synopsis
- During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers faced increased workloads that potentially impacted infection control measures and raised rates of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) at Ibn Rochd University Hospital Center (IRUHC).
- A survey conducted on hospitalized patients revealed a 9.7% prevalence of HAIs, with the highest rates (44.2%) found in intensive care units (ICUs), predominantly due to nosocomial pneumonia.
- The study identified significant factors associated with HAIs, including the use of invasive medical devices, higher physical health scores, and longer hospital stays, highlighting the urgent need for improved monitoring and hygiene practices due to the presence of drug-resistant infections.
