Prevalence of hospital infection and antibiotic use at a University Medical Center in Hong Kong	2007-02-02		.txt	text/plain	2542	169	43	authors: Lee, M.K.; Chiu, C.S.; Chow, V.C.; Lam, R.K.; Lai, R.W. title: Prevalence of hospital infection and antibiotic use at a University Medical Center in Hong Kong Hospital infection prevalence surveys were performed in our 1400-bed University medical centre in Hong Kong from 1985 to 1988. We investigated the rates of four major hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) (pneumonia, symptomatic urinary tract infection, surgical site infection and laboratory-confirmed bloodstream infection) in order to identify current distribution and any changes after 15 years. Demographic information, admission diagnosis, use of medical device and antibiotic were recorded by the ward nursing staff who had attended briefing sessions on each ward on the point prevalence survey with instructions on correct filling of a data collection form. The last survey in our hospital was performed over 15 years ago and some interesting changes in nosocomial infection rate and antibiotic use were found.	./cache/cord-309274-2npxrrhr.txt	./txt/cord-309274-2npxrrhr.txt
