Crit Care
January 2025
HCor Research Institute, Hospital do Coração, Rua Desembargador Eliseu Guilherme 200, 8th Floor, São Paulo, SP, 04004-030, Brazil.
Background: Limited data is available to evaluate the burden of device associated healthcare infections (HAI) [central line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), and ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP)] in low and-middle-income countries. Our aim is to investigate the population attributable mortality fraction and the absolute mortality difference of HAI in a broad population of critically ill patients from Brazil.
Methods: Multicenter cohort study from September 2019 to December 2023 with prospective individual patient data collection.
Impact of Needle-Free Connector and Prefilled Flushing Syringe Shortage on CLABSI Rates in Pediatric Intensive Care.
Infect Dis Clin Microbiol
December 2024
Department of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Dr. Behçet Uz Children's Diseases and Surgery Training and Research Hospital, İzmir, Türkiye.
Objective: We aimed to discuss our experience of a higher incidence of catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) during the needle-free connector (NFC) and single-use prefilled flushing syringe (PFS) shortage.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective analyses were carried out to investigate the CLABSI rates at a tertiary training hospital from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, and the study period included a three-month shortage of NFCs and PFSs in April and June 2023.
Results: The CLABSI rate for the three months was 5.

Intensive Crit Care Nurs
December 2024
Nursing Department, Chengdu Women's and Children's Central Hospital, School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731,China.
Objective: To identify the related factors of neonatal catheter-associated bloodstream infection (CABSI), and provide a basis for constructing a scientific and rational strategy for neonatal CABSI prevention.
Methods: CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, MEDLINE-Ovid, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library were searched for publications on neonatal CABSI from the time the database was established until September 30, 2023. The language of publications was not specified.
Risk factors for healthcare-associated infections and their relationship with waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in an intensive care unit: a nested case-control study.
Einstein (Sao Paulo)
December 2024
Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Objective: To evaluate the risk factors for healthcare-related infections during the COVID-19 pandemic in intensive care units, to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection, Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection, and ventilator-associated pneumonia, and to describe healthcare-associated infections in the waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This nested case-control study was conducted in a 137-bed adult medical/surgical intensive care unit at a private hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, between January 11, 2019, and May 21, 2022. Case patients were identified using the Nosocomial Infection Control Committee database and control patients were identified using the intensive care unit's EPIMED system.
