Abstract

Objective: Standardized infection ratio (SIR) for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) and catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) has been calculated using formulas obtained from the national models in Turkey since 2016. we aimed to evaluate the current usability of the national models by using 2020 data and whether the models need to be updated. Methods: The database used for The National HAI Surveillance Network Summary Report 2020 was used for remodelling. For each type of infection, remodeling was performed with 2020 data using the variables in the national models. The number of CLABSIs, CAUTIs and VAPs was the dependent variable for each negative binomial model with a logarithmic link function. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) from the repeated models were compared with the national models using 95% confidence intervals. Results: In each model, all variables in the national models were again statistically significant (ps<0.05). Although the IRRs were similar for most of the risk factors, the size of the risk for some of them changed significantly between the national models and our models. In the national VAP and CAUTI model, the reference category for hospital type was private hospitals, while in our models, it was state hospitals. In addition, the IRRs for CAUTI in state hospitals, training and research hospitals and university hospitals were significantly lower than in the national model. Conclusion: It is necessary to update the coefficients used in the calculation of the predicted infection numbers in the SIR formulas, especially for VAP and CAUTI.

Standardize enfeksiyon oranı: Türkiye’de yoğun bakım ünitelerinde ulusal invaziv araç ilişkili enfeksiyon modellerini hala güvenilir bir şekilde kullanabilir miyiz?

Abstract

Amaç: Ventilatör ilişkili pnömoni (VİP), santral kateter ilişkili kan dolaşımı enfeksiyonu (SKİ-KDE) ve kateter ilişkili idrar yolu enfeksiyonu (Kİ-İYE) için standardize enfeksiyon oranı (SIR) 2016 yılından itibaren Türkiye’de ulusal modellerden elde edilen formüller kullanılarak hesaplanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada 2020 yılı verileri kullanılarak ulusal modellerin mevcut kullanılabilirliği ve modellerin güncellenmesinin gerekli olup olmadığının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Ulusal Sağlık Hizmeti İlişkili Enfeksiyonlar Sürveyans Ağı Özet Raporu 2020 için kullanılan veri tabanı yeniden modelleme için kullanılmıştır. Her enfeksiyon türü için ulusal modellerdeki değişkenler kullanılarak 2020 verileriyle yeniden modelleme yapılmıştır. SKİ-KDE, Kİ-İYE ve VİP sayısı, logaritmik bağlantı fonksiyonuna sahip negatif binomial modeller için bağımlı değişkendi. Tekrarlanan modellerden elde edilen insidans oranı oranları (IRR’ler), %95 güven aralıkları kullanılarak mevcut ulusal modellerle karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Her bir modelde, ulusal modellerdeki tüm değişkenler istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p<0,05). Risk faktörlerinin çoğu için IRR’ler benzer olmasına rağmen, bazılarının risk boyutu ulusal modeller ve çalışmadaki modeller arasında önemli ölçüde değişmiştir. Ulusal VİP ve Kİ-İYE modelinde hastane türü değişkeninin referans kategorisi özel hastaneler iken bu çalışmadaki modellerde referans kategorisi devlet hastaneleridir. Ayrıca devlet hastanelerinde, eğitim ve araştırma hastanelerinde ve üniversite hastanelerinde Kİ-İYE için IRR’ler ulusal modelden önemli ölçüde düşüktü. Sonuç: Özellikle VİP ve Kİ-İYE için SIR formüllerinde öngörülen enfeksiyon sayılarının hesaplanmasında kullanılan katsayıların güncellenmesi gerekmektedir.
