ABSTRACT
Background:
Nosocomial infections [NI] have been associated with significant morbidity and attributed mortality, as well as increased healthcare costs. Relatively few data on congenital cardiac surgical ICU NI have been reported from developing countries. Little is known about the epidemiology of NI following congenital cardiac surgery in Egypt. The aims of the present study were [a] to estimate the incidence rate and types of NI among children admitted to Pediatric Surgical Cardiac ICU in Cairo University Children's Hospital [Egypt] and [b] to estimate the mortality rate related to congenital cardiac surgery and identify its contributing risk factors
