The COPE-Nosocomial study (COVID in Older PEople).	2020-07-21		.txt	text/plain	3459	204	52	Nosocomial infection is defined as an infection that is acquired in hospital by a patient who was admitted for a reason other than that infection (at least 15 days prior to a positive COVID-19 diagnosis), and in whom the pathogen was not incubating at the time of admission. However, a large study in the United States reported that non-ventilator associated nosocomial pneumonia occurred in 2.1% of all hospital admissions, with a mortality rate of 13.1% (12) . There is no current published data for nosocomial versus community acquired COVID-19 in UK hospitals, leaving uncertainty around morbidity or mortality and heightened public anxiety. Clinical teams at each site screened in-patient admission lists for eligibility and had access to infection control records of positive COVID-19 laboratory testing. Since hospital workers or patient visitors with COVID-19 were not included in the definition of NC infection, or were patients with a positive diagnosis less than 15 days prior to their admission.	./cache/cord-274368-s1h3p5s9.txt	./txt/cord-274368-s1h3p5s9.txt
