摘要

Since 2006, several projects have been initiated in Europe to describe the distribution and characteristics of infection control programs in long-term care facilities and to quantify the burden of infections, antimicrobial resistance, and antimicrobial use in long-term care facilities. This article summarizes the results and activities that are underway.

Prospective Surveillance of Healthcare-Associated Infections in Residents in Four Long-Term Care Facilities in Graz, Austria

Elisabeth Koenig, Mara Medwed, Christian Pux, Michael Uhlmann, Walter Schippinger, Robert Krause, Ines Zollner-Schwetz

Summary: The overall incidence rate of healthcare-associated infections in Austrian long-term care facilities was relatively low, with urinary tract infections being the most common type, and antibiotics, specifically beta-lactams and fluoroquinolones, being frequently prescribed for treatment.

Healthcare-associated infections in Veterans Affairs acute-care and long-term healthcare facilities during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic

Martin E. Evans, Loretta A. Simbartl, Stephen M. Kralovic, Marla Clifton, Kathleen DeRoos, Brian P. McCauley, Natalie Gauldin, Linda K. Flarida, Shantini D. Gamage, Makoto M. Jones, Gary A. Roselle

Summary: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities varied depending on the type of infection. Rates of certain types of HAIs increased in acute-care facilities, while there was no significant increase in HAIs in long-term care facilities. The decrease in Clostridioides difficile infections may be attributed to improvements in diagnostic testing.

Burden of five healthcare associated infections in Australia

M. J. Lydeamore, B. G. Mitchell, T. Bucknall, A. C. Cheng, P. L. Russo, A. J. Stewardson

Summary: This study estimates the burden of healthcare associated infections (HAIs) in Australian public hospitals using a standard international framework. The results show that there are approximately 170,574 HAIs occurring in adults admitted to public hospitals in Australia annually, resulting in 7583 deaths. Hospital acquired pneumonia is the most frequent HAI, followed by surgical site infections and urinary tract infections. The study highlights the high burden of HAIs in Australia and the need for continued investment in prevention efforts.

Healthcare-associated infections and antibiotic use in long-term care residents from two geographical regions in Switzerland

D. Hequet, S. Kessler, G. Rettenmund, E. Lemmenmeier, L. Qalla-Widmer, C. Gardiol, T. Munzer, M. Schlegel, C. Petignat, P. Kohler

Summary: A survey conducted in Swiss LTCFs found a prevalence rate of about 4.2% for HAIs, with mucocutaneous skin infections and respiratory tract infections being the most common. Independent risk factors for HAIs included the presence of chronic wounds and immobility. Antibiotic use was lower overall, but residents in the western region had a higher usage rate.

Predictors of potentially suboptimal treatment of urinary tract infections in long-term care facilities

H. J. Appaneal, A. R. Caffrey, V. V. Lopes, V Mor, D. M. Dosa, K. L. LaPlante, T. Shireman

Summary: Suboptimal antibiotic treatment of urinary tract infection (UTI) is high in LTCFs and varies between facilities, with the main driver of variation remaining unexplained. Future research should continue to investigate factors driving suboptimal treatment in LTCFs.

Occurrence of Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) by Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. Producing Extended-Spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) and/or Carbapenemases in Portuguese Long-Term Care Facilities

Elisabete Machado, Patricio Costa, Alexandre Carvalho

Summary: ESBL- and carbapenemase-producing bacteria are prevalent in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in Portugal, highlighting the importance of LTCFs as a reservoir. The prevalence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) caused by these bacteria remained stable over time, but varied significantly based on LTCF typology. Prior colonization was observed in a significant proportion of patients, emphasizing the need for systematic colonization screening at LTCF admission.

Pavlina Lena, Spyridon A. Karageorgos, Panayiota Loutsiou, Annita Poupazi, Demetris Lamnisos, Panagiotis Papageorgis, Constantinos Tsioutis

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the presence of multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDRB) on healthcare worker (HCW) uniforms in Cyprus. The study found that HCW uniforms harbored MDRB, and identified long-term care facilities as an important area for interventions. Factors associated with HCW practices, characteristics, and attire laundering practices were also identified as areas for improvement.

Investigating healthcare workers' technostress when welfare technology is introduced in long-term care facilities

Sofia Thunberg, Ericka Johnson, Tom Ziemke

Summary: The introduction of welfare technology has led to technostress among healthcare workers. Some healthcare workers find it difficult to adopt and use welfare technology due to factors such as age, language difficulties, or a negative attitude. Municipalities and LTCFs need to invest in their healthcare workers to reduce technostress.

Summary: This study focuses on describing the trends of mcr-positive Enterobacterales in humans in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy based on laboratory surveillance. The study found a significant decrease in the number of mcr-positive isolates from the first half of 2018 to the whole year of 2020, primarily due to horizontal transfer of mcr genes through plasmids or dissemination of transposable elements. Overall, there has been a substantial reduction in the circulation of mcr-1 plasmid genes in the Emilia-Romagna region.

General and COVID-19-Related Mortality by Pre-Existing Chronic Conditions and Care Setting during 2020 in Emilia-Romagna Region, Italy

Nicola Caranci, Chiara Di Girolamo, Letizia Bartolini, Daniela Fortuna, Elena Berti, Stefano Sforza, Paolo Giorgi Rossi, Maria Luisa Moro

Summary: In 2020, Italy experienced an increase in mortality due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with significant variations among regions and demographic groups. This study in the Emilia-Romagna region found that excess deaths were higher during the first wave of the pandemic, particularly among men and in March. While metabolic and neuropsychiatric diseases were more prevalent among deceased individuals in 2020, excluding COVID-19 related deaths led to a decrease in differences in mortality risk estimates. Understanding the impact of the pandemic on mortality, especially considering underlying frailties, is crucial in this evolving situation.

Summary: Candida auris was first detected in Italy in July 2019, with one additional case reported in January 2020. Nine months later, a large number of cases were reported in northern Italy. A total of 361 cases were detected between July 2019 and December 2022 in various regions of Italy, with 146 deaths. The majority of cases were considered to be colonization, and only one had a history of travel abroad. Most isolates showed resistance to fluconazole.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of transferring patients to Community Hospitals (CHs) on mortality, re-admission, institutionalization, and activation of a home care program in the Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy) after acute hospitalization. The findings showed that patients transferred to CHs had a lower risk of dying but an increased risk of readmission. The risk of institutionalization was lower in the CH exposed group, except for patients with certain chronic diseases. The activation of a home care program was slightly higher for those transferred to a CH.
