Abstract

Reference data from intensive care units (ICUs) are not applicable to non-ICU patients because of the differences in device use rates, length of stay, and severity of underlying diseases among the patient populations. In contrast to the huge amount of data available for ICU patients, appropriate surveillance data for non-ICU patients have been missing in Germany. To establish a new module ("DEVICE-KISS") of the German Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System for generating stratified reference data for non-ICU wards. Non-ICU patients from 42 German hospitals. Monthly patient-days, device-days and nosocomial infections (NIs) (using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention definitions) were counted. Device use rates were calculated, and NI rates were stratified by different medical specialities. From July 2002 through June 2004, among the 77 wards, there were a total of 536,955 patient-days and 74,188 device-days (for CVC-associated primary bloodstream infections, there were 181,401 patient-days and 8,317 central vascular catheter [CVC]-days in 29 wards; for urinary catheter-associated urinary tract infections, there were 445,536 patient-days and 65,871 urinary catheter-days in 65 wards) and 483 NIs (36 bloodstream infections a...Continue Reading
