Abstract

In patients with a health care-associated infection (HAI), lengths of stay and costs increased >150% from 2019 to 2023, and were 2 to 6 times greater compared to concurrent non-HAI patients with the same diagnoses. Unlike surgical HAI, no device-associated HAI occurred before hospital day 12. These findings highlight the possibly under-recognized influence of delayed discharges on device-associated HAIs.

三种医疗相关感染对医院成本和住院时间造成的不同负担：准实验性病例对照观察。

2019-2023年期间，发生医疗相关感染（HAI）的患者的住院时间和费用增加了150%以上，与诊断相同的非HAI患者相比，住院时间和费用增加了2-6倍。与外科 HAI 不同的是，在住院第 12 天之前没有发生过设备相关 HAI。这些发现凸显了延迟出院对器械相关 HAI 的影响可能未得到充分认识。
