  • Outbreak of postoperative endophthalmitis in a Thai Tertiary Care Center.
    Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Anucha Apisarnthanarak, Supanee Jirajariyavej, Kanokporn Thongphubeth, Chananart Yuekyen, David K. Warren, Victoria J. Fraser
    Abstract:

    We performed a study with a 1:3 ratio of case patients (n = 11) to control patients (n = 33) to evaluate risk factors for postoperative endophthalmitis in a Thai Tertiary Care Center. Multivariate analysis revealed that diabetes mellitus and surgeon A were associated risk factors. Preoperative diabetes mellitus control and the improvement of infection control practices led to the termination of the outbreak.

  • Inappropriate use of antifungal medications in a Tertiary Care Center in Thailand: A prospective study
    Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Apisada Sutepvarnon, Anucha Apisarnthanarak, Bernard C. Camins, Kristin Mondy, Victoria J. Fraser
    Abstract:

    The incidence and factors associated with inappropriate use of antifungal medications were studied in a Thai Tertiary Care Center. The incidence of inappropriate antifungal use was 74% (in 42 of 57 patients). Isolation of Candida species from urine (P = .004) was a risk factor, whereas receipt of an infectious diseases consultation (P = .004) was protective.

  • effectiveness of a catheter associated bloodstream infection bundle in a thai Tertiary Care Center a 3 year study
    American Journal of Infection Control, 2010
    Co-Authors: Anucha Apisarnthanarak, Kanokporn Thongphubeth, Chananart Yuekyen, David K. Warren, Victoria J. Fraser
    Abstract:

    Background We sought to determine the long-term impact of “bundled” infection control interventions on the rates of catheter-associated bloodstream infection (CA-BSI) in a middle-income country. Setting A 500-bed Tertiary Care Center in Thailand. Methods A 3-year, hospital-wide, prospective quasi-experimental study was conducted for 1 year before the intervention (period 1), 1 year after implementation of the CA-BSI bundle (period 2), and at a 1-year follow-up after the intervention with intensified hand hygiene promotion (period 3). Results In period 1, 88 episodes of CA-BSI (14 cases per 1000 catheter-days) were recorded. During period 2, the CA-BSI rate decreased by 54.1 % (6.4 cases per 1000 catheter-days; P P P P P P Conclusion Bundled infection control practices are feasible and effective in sustaining reduced incidence of CA-BSI in patients with central venous catheters in a resource-limited setting.
