Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is the prospective evaluation of the rate of nosocomial infections (NCI) in our pediatric clinic (child and infant clinic, except newborn and hemato-oncology units) and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Methods: NCI defined by using the standard Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria. Results: Of 91 patients with NCI, there were 114 nosocomial infection attacks and 95 culture growths (1.25 episodes per patient). Forty-three percent (n=39) of patients were female, 57% (n=52) were male and the average age was 64.07±66.11 months in female patients and 53.14±63.26 months in male patients. Fifty- two percent (n=47) of the patients were admitted to the pediatric clinic and 48% (n=44) were in the PICU. NCI rates of PICU and pediatric clinic were 16.3 and 8.4 per 100 admissions and 18.5 and 17.3 per 1000 patient days, respectively. In total, the patients stayed in the hospital on average for 48.8±49.9 days (median=33 days) and the initial diagnosis of NCI was given on the 28.6±48.1st day of their admittance (median 16 days). The average hospital stay in the PICU patients was 47.2±60.7 days (median 31 days), and clinic patients 50.0±39.6 days (median 39 days). NCI was diagnosed on the 33.6±61.2 days of admittance (median 22.5 days) in the PICU and on the 24.2±32.6 days (median 10 days) in the clinic. Eighty-five of the 91 patients included in this study (93.4%) had a previously diagnosed underlying chronic or primary disease. The most frequent diseases were found as follows ; neurological disease 37.4% (n=34), chronic renal disease 29.7% (n=27) and congenital heart disease 22% (n=20). Conclusion: It was found that NCI rates in our clinic were lower compared to the other developing countries, either a slightly higher or the same when compared to developed countries and at a similar level when compared to the other studies carried out in Turkey.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada; bir yıl içinde çocuk kliniği (büyük çocuk ve süt çocuğu kliniği) ve çocuk yoğun bakım ünitesine (ÇYBÜ) (hematoloji-onkoloji ve yenidoğan hariç) yatan çocuklardaki hastane enfeksiyonlarının (HE) sıklığının prospektif olarak incelenmesi amaçlandı. Yöntemler: HE, Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) kıstasları temel alınarak tanımlandı. Bulgular: Çalışma süresince izlenen 91 hastada toplam 114 HE atağı ile 95 kültür üremesi saptandı (hasta başına epizod oranı: 1.25). HE saptanan hastaların %43’ü (n=39) kız, %57’si (n=52) erkek olup, ortalama yaş; kızlarda 64.07±66.11 ay, erkeklerde 53.14±63.26 ay olarak saptandı. Çalışmaya alınan hastaların %52’si (n=47) çocuk kliniğinde, %48’i (n=44) ÇYBÜ’de idi. ÇYBÜ ve çocuk kliniğinde 100 hasta yatışına göre HE oranı sırasıyla; 16.3 ve 8.4, 1000 hasta gününe göre HE oranı ise; 18.5 ve 17.3 olarak bulundu. Hastalar ortalama 48.8±49.9 gün (median=ortanca 33 gün) hastanede yattı ve hastaneye yatışlarının 28.6±48.1’inci (ortanca 16 gün) gününde HE tanısı aldılar. Toplam yatış süresi dikkate alındığında, ÇYBÜ’de ortalama yatış süresi 47.2±60.7 gün (ortanca 31 gün) iken klinikte 50.0±39.6 gün (ortanca 39 gün) olarak bulundu. HE’nu ÇYBÜ’de yatışın 33.6±61.2 gününde (ortanca 22.5 gün) ve kliniklerde 24.2±32.6 gününde (ortanca 10 gün) saptandı. Çalışmaya alınan 91 hastanın 85’de (%93,4) daha önceden tanı konulmuş olan altta yatan kronik veya primer bir hastalık vardı. Bunların içinde en sık görülen ilk üç primer hastalık sırasıyla; nörolojik hastalık %37.4 (n=34), kronik renal hastalık %29.7 (n=27) ve konjenital kalp hastalığı %22 (n=20) olarak saptandı. Sonuç: Kliniğimizdeki HE oranları gelişmekte olan diğer ülkelere göre daha düşük, gelişmiş ülkelere göre biraz daha yüksek veya benzer, ülkemizdeki yapılan diğer kısıtlı sayıda çalışmayla kıyaslanabilir düzeyde bulundu.
