Objective To understand the occurrence of healthcare-associated infection(HAI) in intensive care units (ICUs) in secondary and above hospitals in a province, and provide basis for HAI management.Methods HAI management quality control center in a province performed targeted monitoring on HAI in ICUs in secondary and above hospitals in a province from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2015.Results ICUs in 176 hospitals were monitored, the incidence of HAI in ICUs for 6 consecutive years was 7.23％, case incidence of HAI was 9.72％;incidence of HAI showed a decreased trend in 6 years(P<0.001).The adjusted rate of HAI per 1 000 patient days in the general hospital ICUs was higher than that of special hospital ICUs (4.30‰ vs 3.53‰).Incidence of HAI in surgical ICUs and general ICUs were both relatively higher, adjusted rates of HAI per 1 000 patient days were 4.79‰ and 4.21‰ respectively.Respiratory tract, urinary tract, and bloodstream infection were major HAI in ICUs, accounting for 68.64％, 14.45％, and 10.09％ respectively, the utilization rates of central venous catheter, ventilator, and urinary catheter were 49.86％, 39.16％, and 81.95％ respectively, incidence of three catheter-associated infection were 1.74‰, 13.77‰, and 2.08‰ respectively, incidence of three catheter-associated infection decreased year by year (P<0.001).The utilization rates of ventilator, central venous catheter, and urinary catheter in different ICUs were not correlated with the incidence of infection(all P>0.05).A total of 36 223 strains of pathogens were isolated, the top 6 isolated pathogens were Acinetobacter baumannii(22.77％), Klebsiella pneumoniae (11.96％), Pseudomonas aeruginosa(11.94％), Staphylococcus aureus (8.08％), Candida albicans (5.63％), and Escherichia coli(5.55％).The isolation rates of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae showed a increased tendency for 6 years(P<0.05).Conclusion Continuous targeted monitoring on HAI in ICUs, regular analysis on risk factors for HAI, and timely implementation of intervention measures can effectively decrease the incidence of HAI.

Objective To explore the clinical manifestations,antimicrobial therapy,and risk factors of mortality in patients with Acinetobacter baumannii bloodstream infection.Methods Clinical data of 153 patients with Acinetobacter baumannii bloodstream infection hospitalized in First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University from January 2013 to September 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.According to the 28-day survival after diagnosis,the patients were divided into death group (n =76) and survival group (n =77).Data related to demographic and clinical characteristics,underlying diseases,treatment,invasive procedures,bacterial resistance to antibiotics,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ)scores at onset,and antimicrobial therapy were collected.The index as an independent risk factor of mortality was demonstrated by multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results This study included 153 patients with Acinetobacter baumannii bloodstream infection.The 28-day mortality was 49.7％.The independent risk factors of mortality were APACHE Ⅱ score ≥22 at onset (OR =15.7,95％ CI 5.1-48.1,P ＜ 0.001),septic shock (OR =6.3,95 ％ CI 1.9-21.3,P =0.003),and administration of steroids (OR =3.6,95％ CI 1.0-12.3,P =0.043).Compared with subjects treated with non-cefoperazone-sulbactam-based regimen,those treated with cefoperazone-sulbactam for multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-AB) had significantly lower mortality on day7,day14 and day28 (8.9％ vs 59.2％,31.1％ vs 65.8％,44.4％ vs 72.4％ respectively).Conclusions The patients with Acinetobacter baumannii bloodstream infection have high mortality within one month.Administration of steroids and septic shock are associated with poor prognosis.APACHE Ⅱ score ≥ 22 at onset predicts adverse outcome.Cefoperazone-sulbactam-based antimicrobial therapy improves patients' survival.

Objective To explore the potential risk factors for aortic and mitral valve calcification in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients. Methods Patients on MHD for at least 6 months.aged≥1 8 years without history of surgery or catheter for heart valve disease were enrolled in the study.Echocardiographic examination was performed to detect the calcification.The risk factors for aortic and mitral valve calcification were analyzed by Logistic regression. Results One hundred and eighty-one MHD patients(98 men and 83 women)were enrolled in the study.Of all the patients,aortic or mitral valve calcification was found in 94 patients(5 1.9%),aortic valve calcification in 90 patients(49.7%),mitral valve calcification in 30 patients(16.6%),aortic and valve calcification in 26 patients(14.4%).Multivariate Logistic regression showed that age(β=5.52,P=0.007),dialysis duration(β=6.99,P=0.039)and pre-albumin(β=-12.616,P=0.004)were independently correlated with aortic valve calcification.Mitral valve calcification was independently correlated with dialysis duration(β=6.057,P=0.002),history of primary hypertension(β=3.054,P=0.008),hemoglobin(β=-0.061,P=0.035)and β2 microglobulin(β=7.63,P=0.01).While the correlation between mitral valve calcification and age was borderline significant(β=0.085,P=0.05).Conclusions Valve calcification is prevalent in MHD patients,and aortic valve calcification is more common than mitral valve calcification.Age,dialysis duration and low serum pre-albumin are independent risk factors for aortic valve calcification.The risk factors for mitral valve calcification include age,dialysis duration,history of primary hypertension,anemia and high serum β2 microglobulin.

Objective To identify the efficacy and safety of aspirin in reducing the serum high sensitivity C reactive protein(hsCRP)level and preventing the internal arteriovenous fistulas(AVF)embolism in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods One hundred and ten hemodialysis patients using AVF more than 3 months were randomly divided into 2 groups,the intervention group(n=55,received aspirin 100 mg/d)and the control group(n=55).Examinations were performed at baseline and 6-month after treatment.Serum hsCRP level,platelet aggregates ratio(PAR),coagulation and inflammation indicators were measured.AVF embolism and the adverse events were monitored. Results Six months later.PAR and hsCRP level of the intervention group patients aged≤60 years decreased significantly [(68.14±8.45)%vs (82.37±9.12)%;(4.79±4.81)mg/L vs(6.94±10.26)mg/L,all P＜0.05],and were significantly lower as compared to.the control group[(68.14±8.45)%vs(74.7±11.50)%,(4.79±4.81)mg/L vs(5.12±9.25)mg/L,all P＜0.05].There were 2 cases of AVF embolism occured in both groups,which showed no statistical difierence (P=0.676).The incidence of adverse effeets was higher in the intervention group than that in the control group but no statistical significance was found (20.0%vs 7.2%,P=0.052),while the mortality rate had no difference between 2 groups (3.6%vs 0,P=0.495).Conclusion Use of aspirin 100 mg/d for 6 months can significantly reduce the serum hsCRP level and PAR in hemodialysis patients under 60-year-old without serious adverse reactions.
