Abstract

Background: Nosocomial infections in intensive care units are common and associated with high morbidity, mortality. This study was planned to evaluate the occurance and causes of site specific nosocomial infections in a neurological intensive care unit (NICU) and their relevance to underlying diseases.Methods: Patients treated for more than 24 hours in Ege University Medical School Hospital NICU were evaluated by prospective daily surveillance for overall and site specific infections during the 12 months of the year 2005. Nosocomial infections incidence and their relation with underlying disease were investigated.Results: Three hundred and fifty six patients were included. A hundred and ten nosocomial infections were seen. The rate of infection per 100 patients was 30.8. Site-specific infections were; urinary tract infection (49.1%), pneumonia (30.9%), catheter related blood stream infections (18.1%) and primary bacteremia (1.8 %). In univariate analysis, no differences were found between the patients with stroke and other NICU disorders in terms of risk factors for NICU-AI such as; age, gender, type of nosocomial infections, length of stay, and mortality. But the length of stay was significantly prolonged and mortality was significantly higher in patients with NICU-AI when compared with patients without NICU-AIs.Conclusion: The incidence of nosocomial infections in our NICU was found to be as high as in other critical care units and causes higher mortality. This was supposed to be associated with prolonged hospital stay and insufficient compliance to infection control measures instead of the underlying disease of the patients.

Özet

Giriş: Yoğun Bakımlarda sık görülen nozokomiyal enfeksiyonlar yüksek morbidite ve mortalite nedenidir. Bu çalışma Nörolojik Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi (NYBÜ)'nde görülen nozokomiyal enfeksiyonların lokalizasyonları, nedenleri ve altta yatan hastalıklarla ilişkisinin araştırılması amacıyla planlanmıştır.Yöntem: Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi NYBÜ'de 24 saatten uzun sure tedavi gören olgular genel ve lokalizasyon ilişkili enfeksiyonlar yönünden 2005 yılı süresince prospektif olarak günlük değerlendirilmeye alınmıştır. Enfeksiyon sıklığı, etkenleri ve altta yatan hastalıklarla ilişkisi araştırılmıştır.Sonuçlar: Çalışmaya 356 hasta alınmıştır. Toplam 110 nozokomiyal enfeksiyon görülmüştür. Enfeksiyon sıklığı % 30.8 olup enfeksiyonların lokalizasyona gore dağılımı; üriner sistem enfeksiyonu % 49.1, pnömoni % 30.9, dammar içi kateter ile ilişkili kan dolaşımı enfeksiyonu % 18.1, primer bakteriemi % 1.8'dir. İstatistiksel değerlendirmede yoğun bakım enfeksiyonlarının altta yatan hastalıkla ilişkili olmadığı, enfeksiyon gelişen hastalarda hastanede yatış süresinin belirgin olarak uzun ve mortalitenin de yüksek olduğu görülmüştür.Yorum: NYBU'de nozokomiyal enfeksiyon görülme oranları diğer yoğun bakımlarla benzerdir ve mortalite artışına neden olmaktadır. Bunun nedeninin altta yatan hastalıklarla ilişkili olmadığı, hastanede yatış süresinin uzunluğu ve enfeksiyon kontrol kurallarına yetersiz uyum olduğu kanısına varılmıştır.
