- Abstract
INTRODUZIONELe infezioni correlate all’assistenza (ICA) rappresentano una delle più frequenti complicanze delle prestazioni ospedaliere e al contempo una delle sfide principali della sanità pubblica del Paese. Al fine di delinearne al meglio l’impatto, risultano fondamentali le attività di sorveglianza attiva attraverso indagini di prevalenza e incidenza.MATERIALI E METODI Dal 11 al 13 ottobre 2017, è stata condotta nelle degenze ordinarie del Policlinico Universitario un’indagine di prevalenza puntuale sulle infezioni nosocomiali.Sono state acquisite informazioni sulla presenza fattori di rischio per l’insorgenza di infezioni ospedaliere (interventi chirurgici nei 30 giorni antecedenti la rilevazione, provenienza da casa di cura, RSA o centri dialisi negli ultimi 90 giorni, isolamento di microrganismi MDR negli ultimi 90 giorni, presenza di un catetere urinario a permanenza, antibioticoterapia, tipologia di microrganismi isolati). Per la rilevazione è stato utilizzato un apposito software.RISULTATI Sono stati arruolati 1106 pazienti.Nel 2017, i pazienti con almeno una ICA sono stati 34, per un numero complessivo di 35 casi (62 casi nel 2016, 5,48% di prevalenza; p=0,025) mentre la prevalenza complessiva delle ICA è stata del 3,16%.La prevalenza per la tipologia di Specialità secondo classificazione ECDC si è dimostrata più alta nell’Area Medica (4,72%) con 22 casi di ICA rilevati. Più interessante appare il decremento, rispetto al 2016, osservato nei reparti di specialità chirurgica (7,5% nel 2016 vs 1,78% nel 2017; p=0,002) e, anche se non significativo, in quelli della specialità ginecologica (5,7% nel 2016 vs 2,3% nel 2017; p=0,247) e nelle terapie intensive (8,2% nel 2016 vs 4,35% nel 2016; p=0,231).Per quanto riguarda la tipologia di ICA, le infezioni del torrente ematico, con 11 casi, costituiscono la tipologia più frequente (0,99%), seguite dalle polmoniti con 9 casi (0,81%) e le Infezioni delle vie urinaria con 8 casi (0,72%).Rispetto al 2016

- Abstract
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) represent one of the most common cause of infection and an important burden of disease. The aim of this study was to analyze the results of a six-year HAI point prevalence survey carried out yearly in a teaching acute care hospital from 2013 to 2018, following the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) guidelines. Surgical site infections, urinary tract infections, bloodstream infections, pneumonia, meningitis, and Clostridium difficile infections were considered as risk factors. A total of 328 patients with HAI were detected during the 6-year survey, with an average point prevalence of 5.24% (95% CI: 4.70–5.83%). Respiratory tract infections were the most common, followed by surgical site infections, urinary tract infections, primary bloodstream infections, Clostridium difficile infections, and central nervous system infections. A regression model showed length of stay at the moment of HAI detection, urinary catheter, central venous catheter, and antibiotic therapy to be the most important predictors of HAI prevalence, yielding a significant adjusted coefficient of determination (adjusted R2 ) of 0.2780. This will provide future infection control programs with specific HAI to focus on in order to introduce a proper prophylaxis and to limit exposure whenever possible.

- Abstract
This study assessed healthcare workers' (HCWs) knowledge and adherence to hand hygiene principles in a large Italian university hospital, focusing on identifying knowledge gaps and evaluating training effectiveness. A specifically designed 17-item questionnaire, based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Hand Hygiene Knowledge Questionnaire, was used to measure theoretical knowledge, the role of training, and the impact of experience. The survey had an 8% participation rate (542 responses from a total of 6,749 HCWs), with higher responses among nurses and doctors. Results showed moderate knowledge of hand hygiene protocols, averaging 74%, but revealed gaps in comprehension, particularly in the correct use of hand rub and post-contact sanitation. Logistic regression analysis identified significant predictors of knowledge and adherence, with professional characteristics such as professional qualifications and length of service influencing outcomes ( p < 0.05). The findings confirm the strong correlation between hand hygiene knowledge and compliance in reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Continuous education and customized interventions, including targeted training and feedback, are essential for targeting weak points and improving adherence. These insights emphasize the importance of ongoing training and monitoring to enhance hand hygiene practices, promote a culture of patient safety, and, as a consequence, reduce the incidence of HAIs., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Corbo, Wachocka, Pozzi, Cioce, Di Donato, Raponi, Pascucci, Marziali, Fantoni, Murri, Vincenti, Nuzzo, Vetrugno, Cambieri and Laurenti.)
