impact of a multidimensional Infection Control approach on catheter associated urinary tract Infection rates in adult intensive care units in 10 cities of turkey international nosocomial Infection Control consortium findings inicc
American Journal of Infection Control, 2013Co-Authors: Hakan Leblebicioglu, Huseyin Turgut, Victor D Rosenthal, A Nevzatyalcin, Gulden Ersoz, Ozay Arikan Akan, Fatma Sirmatel, Davut Ozdemir, Cengiz Uzun, Sercan UlusoyAbstract:Background We evaluate the effectiveness of a multidimensional Infection Control approach for the reduction of catheter-associated urinary tract Infections (CAUTIs) in 13 intensive care units (ICUs) in 10 hospital members of the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) from 10 cities of Turkey. Methods A before-after prospective active surveillance study was used to determine rates of CAUTI. The study was divided into baseline (phase 1) and intervention (phase 2). In phase 1, surveillance was performed applying the definitions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/National Healthcare Safety Network. In phase 2, we implemented a multidimensional approach that included bundle of Infection Control interventions, education, surveillance and feedback on CAUTI rates, process surveillance, and performance feedback. We used random effects Poisson regression to account for clustering of CAUTI rates across time periods. Results The study included 4,231 patients, hospitalized in 13 ICUs, in 10 hospitals, in 10 cities, during 49,644 patient-days. We recorded a total of 41,871 urinary catheter (UC)-days: 5,080 in phase 1 and 36,791 in phase 2. During phase 1, the rate of CAUTI was 10.63 per 1,000 UC-days and was significantly decreased by 47% in phase 2 to 5.65 per 1,000 UC-days (relative risk, 0.53; 95% confidence interval: 0.4-0.7; P value = .0001). Conclusion Our multidimensional approach was associated with a significant reduction in the rates of CAUTI in Turkey.

Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, 2012Co-Authors: Victor D Rosenthal, Bala Ramachandran, Alberto Armasruiz, Josephine Anne Navoang, Lorena Mattacortes, M Pawar, Carlos Alvarezmoreno, Lourdes Duenas, Gulden Ersoz, A NevzatyalcinAbstract:Design. A before-after prospective surveillance study to assess the impact of a multidimensional Infection Control approach for the reduction of catheter-associated urinary tract Infection (CAUTI) rates.Setting. Pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) of hospital members of the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) from 10 cities of the following 6 developing countries: Colombia, El Salvador, India, Mexico, Philippines, and Turkey.Patients. PICU inpatients.Methods. We performed a prospective active surveillance to determine rates of CAUTI among 3,877 patients hospitalized in 10 PICUs for a total of 27,345 bed-days. The study was divided into a baseline period (phase 1) and an intervention period (phase 2). In phase 1, surveillance was performed without the implementation of the multidimensional approach. In phase 2, we implemented a multidimensional Infection Control approach that included outcome surveillance, process surveillance, feedback on CAUTI rates, feedback on performance, ...
