Prevalence of healthcare-associated urinary tract infections in Catalonia
Introduction
Healthcare-associated urinary tract infections (HCA-UTIs) account for an important number of infections in acute care hospitals (ACH) and long-term care facilities (LTCF). Our objective was to evaluate the prevalence of HCA-UTIs in Catalonia.
Methods
Descriptive observational study in which we analyzed the prevalence of HCA-UTIs, including catheter-associated UTIs (CAUTIs) and non-CAUTIs, from point prevalence surveys conducted in 55 ACH (44,734 patients) and 97 LTCF (116,882 residents) between 2013 and 2022 as part of the VINCat program. Prevalence time trends were also assessed by using a Spearman correlation.
Results
In ACH, the overall prevalence of HCA-UTI was 1.6%. The prevalence of CAUTI was 3.9%, while the prevalence of non-CAUTI was 1%, with no significant changes over time. CAUTIs were more prevalent in large size and specialty hospitals. Among the 695 HCA-UTIs, 325 (46.8%) were CAUTIs and 370 (53.2%) non-CAUTIs. The overall prevalence of HCA-UTI in LTCF was 3.6%. The prevalence of CAUTI and non-CAUTI was 11% and 2.8%, respectively, with no significant changes over time. Among the 4190 HCA-UTIs, 1200 (28.6%) were CAUTIs and 2990 (71.4%) non-CAUTIs.
Conclusion
Most HCA-UTIs, in ACH and LTCF, were non-CAUTIs although patients with a urinary catheter had a higher risk of HCA-UTIs. HCA-UTIs surveillance programs are essential for identifying at risk patients and developing preventive strategies.
期刊介绍:
Hoy está universalmente reconocida la renovada y creciente importancia de la patología infecciosa: aparición de nuevos agentes patógenos, de cepas resistentes, de procesos con expresión clínica hasta ahora desconocida, de cuadros de una gran complejidad. Paralelamente, la Microbiología y la Infectología Clínicas han experimentado un gran desarrollo como respuesta al reto planteado por la actual patología infecciosa. Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica es la Publicación Oficial de la Sociedad Española SEIMC. Cumple con la garantía científica de esta Sociedad, la doble función de difundir trabajos de investigación, tanto clínicos como microbiológicos, referidos a la patología infecciosa, y contribuye a la formación continuada de los interesados en aquella patología mediante artículos orientados a ese fin y elaborados por autores de la mayor calificación invitados por la revista.
