Healthcare associated infection in adult surgical and medical patients hospitalized in tertiary hospital in Belgrade, Serbia: a seven years prospective cohort study.

: () infection (CDI) is one of the most common healthcare-associated (HA) infections in contemporary medicine. The risk factors (RFs) for HA CDI in medical and surgical patients are poorly investigated in countries with a limited resource healthcare system. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate differences in patients' characteristics, factors related to healthcare and outcomes associated with HA CDI in surgical and medical patients in tertiary healthcare centre in Serbia.

Risk factors for infection in surgical patients hospitalized in a tertiary hospital in Belgrade, Serbia: a case-control study.

Background: The objective of this study was to investigate independent risk factors (RFs) connected with healthcare-associated (HA) infection (CDI) in surgical patients, its frequency per surgical wards and in-hospital-mortality at a single hospital.

Methods: Risk factors for the infection were prospectively assessed among surgical patients with laboratory confirmed HA CDI and compared with a control group without HA CDI.

Results: The overall incidence rate of HA CDI was 2.

[Osteoid osteoma--ten-years' experience in therapy].

Aim: To review ten-years experience in diagnostics and operative treatment of osteoid osteoma.

Methods: A total of 15 patients were retrospectively analyzed in this study. Clinical diagnosis was based on medical check-up, aspirin test, and conventional laboratory and radiographic examinations.

[Early results in the use of the oblong S-ROM uncemented acetabular component].

Massive deficiency of acetabular bone stock is a challenging problem in the increasing number of patients who need a revision of the failed hip arthroplasty. Oblong acetabular cup has been presented as an alternative reconstruction technique for hips with extensive acetabular bone loss. The aim of this study was to present our results with the use of a bilobed acetabular component inserted during revisional surgery, to define indications, and to introduce this method into our orthopaedic practice.
