Nosocomial infections among COVID-19 patients : an analysis of intensive care unit surveillance data. Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 10(1), 119-. https://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s13756-021-00988-7 | Project: | MOH-000276 | Journal: | Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control | Abstract: | Surveillance of nosocomial infections, like catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), central line-associated bloodstream infection, possible ventilator-associated pneumonia and secondary bloodstream infections were observed to study the impact of COVID-19 outbreak in ICUs from Tan Tock Seng Hospital and National Centre for Infectious Diseases, Singapore between February and June 2020. Higher nosocomial infection rates were observed in COVID-19 patients, although it was not statistically significant. Moreover, COVID-19 patients seem to be more predisposed to CAUTI despite a higher proportion of non-COVID-19 patients having urinary catheters. Thus, continued vigilance to ensure adherence to IPC measures is needed. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/153811 | ISSN: | 2047-2994 | DOI: | 10.1186/s13756-021-00988-7 | Schools: | Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine) | Rights: | © 2021 The Author(s).
