Hospital Context Determinants of Variability in Healthcare-Associated Infection...

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) represent a major challenge in patient safety that affects services disproportionally. This paper aimed to assess how the HAI prevalence varies between hospital services and what contextual characteristics may explain such variance. A cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients in Portuguese hospitals, using data from the European point prevalence survey of HAI ...

This article presents the incidence of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in Portugal during a four-year period (2014-2017). Data were retrieved from the 100 Portuguese hospital diagnosis discharge database for adult patients and included gender, age, chronic comorbidities, mortality and hospital length of stay. There were 28,632 episodes of HAP, an incidence of 0.95 per 100 admissions. HAP patients had both a p...

We present the incidence of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in Portugal during a 4-year period (2014-2017). Data were retrieved from the 100 Portuguese Hospital diagnosis discharge database for adult patients and included gender, age, chronic comorbidities, mortality and hospital length of stay. We found 28,632 episodes of HAP, an incidence of 0.95 per 100 admissions. HAP patients had both a prolonged hospita...

Evidence Associated with the Use of Oxazolidinones for the Treatment of Skin an...

INTRODUCTION: Skin and skin structure infections are an increasing cause of hospitalization. Although mortality is relatively low, skin and skin structure infections are associated with prolonged hospital length of stay and high costs. Oxazolidinones have been suggested as a tool to treat infected patients in the ambulatory setting in order to decrease hospital length of stay. We wanted to address the evidence ...
