Data were collected from patient's file and laboratory results according to definitions of CDC. DA-HAIs were calculated by dividing the total number of device associated infections (DAIs) by the total number of device days and multiplying the result by 1,000. \u0000Results: In the current study 1,666 patients hospitalized for 11.280 days in the different ICUs. These patients acquired 91 DA-HAIs. The most frequent DA-HAIs (per 1000 device-days) were Ventilator-associated Pneumonia (VAP) (10.9), central line-associated blood stream infection, (CLA-BSI) (5.9), and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CA-UTI) (5.6). The urinary catheter utilization ratio was 0.54, central line utilization ratio was 0.33, and ventilator utilization ratis was 0.28. The most frequently isolated organisms were Klebsiella spp. (34%) and E.coli (20.9%). The most frequent bacteria causing VAP, CLA-BSI, and CA-UTI were Klebsiella spp. (60%), Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp (27.3% for each)., and E.coli (41.2%) respectively.. \u0000Conclusion: Surveillance of DA-HAIs is the first step to improve infection control activity and to implement preventive bundles measures in the intensive care unit.","PeriodicalId":378759,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health","volume":"13 18","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120843416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies on the involvement of socio-demography and diet in breast cancer aetiology are inconclusive. The contribution of socio-demography and selected diets to breast carcinogenesis was thus, determined in this study. \u0000Methods: A comparative cross-sectional design was used among 169 non-pregnant women. This comprised 85 drug naive women with breast cancer and 84 apparently healthy women without breast cancer (controls). The cases and controls were matched for age and menstrual status. Semi-structured questionnaire was used to obtain information on socio-demography, diet and reproductive history. Data were analysed using Chi-square and binary logistic regression. P-values less than 0.05 were considered as statistically significant \u0000Results: Daily consumers of red meat were more likely to have breast cancer compared with weekly consumers (OR=27.728, 95% CI, 8.874-86.638). Daily and weekly consumers of vegetable were less likely to have breast cancer compared with occasional consumers (OR=0.263, 95% CI, 0.081-0.859; OR=0.268, 95% CI, 0.081-0.885, respectively). Moreover, weekly consumers of dairy products were less likely to have breast cancer compared with non consumers (OR= 0.080, 95% CI, 0.020-0.324). \u0000Conclusion: Red meat consumption was a predictor of breast cancer. However, regular consumption of vegetable, fruits and dairy products protect against breast cancer.","PeriodicalId":378759,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127810658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
