Article Synopsis
- The study investigates trends in healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) at a Tunisian university hospital over nine years, focusing on data from annual point prevalence surveys conducted from 2012 to 2020.
- It found that although there was an increase in the prevalence of HAIs from 12.3% to 15.5%, the rise in the percentage of infected patients was not statistically significant.
- Key risk factors identified for HAIs included previous antibiotic use, length of hospital stay, and the presence of invasive devices, with young age being a protective factor.
