Hospital-Acquired Bloodstream Infections in Relation to Intensive Care Unit Stays During Hospitalization-A Population-Based Cohort Study.

Little is known about the clinical characteristics and pathogens causing hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (HA-BSIs) in relation to an intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Population-based cohort study, comprising 35% of the Danish population, 2009-2016. We derived four patient groups with first-time HA-BSIs: no ICU stay during the admission (non-ICU patients) and HA-BSI acquired before, in, or after an ICU stay (before-ICU, in-ICU, and after-ICU patients).

The increasing incidence and mortality of bacteremia in Denmark from 2010 to 2022: a population-based nationwide cohort study.

Objectives: An increasing incidence of positive blood cultures has been reported in several countries. This represents an important challenge for public health due to the large number of hospital admissions with high mortality among these patients. This study aims to characterize the epidemiology and mortality associated with positive blood cultures.

Mandatory surveillance of bacteremia conducted by automated monitoring.

Except for a few countries, comprehensive all-cause surveillance for bacteremia is not part of mandatory routine public health surveillance. We argue that time has come to include automated surveillance for bacteremia in the national surveillance systems, and explore diverse approaches and challenges in establishing bacteremia monitoring. Assessed against proposed criteria, surveillance for bacteremia should be given high priority.

No associations between neuroborreliosis in children and psychiatric neurodevelopmental disorders: a nationwide, population-based, matched cohort study.

Background: It has been suggested that neuroborreliosis in children can manifest as psychiatric neurodevelopmental disorders or cause long-term neurodevelopmental sequelae. However, previous studies were limited by size and design.

Methods: We performed a nationwide, population-based, matched cohort study in Denmark between 1995 and 2021.

Susceptibility to and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection according to prescription drug use-an observational study of 46,506 Danish healthcare workers.

It is not well investigated whether exposure to specific drug classes is associated with COVID-19. We investigated the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19 among healthcare workers according to prescription drug use. We conducted an observational study among Danish healthcare workers.
