RESUMO

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a frequent cause of infectious outbreaks in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). The aim of this paper is to describe an outbreak occurred in a 13-bed NICU and the control measures adopted in order to interrupt the chain of transmission. We described the microbiological investigations, the NICU staff compliance to the infection control measures by means of a specifically designed check-list and the control measures adopted. Six cases of primary bloodstream infections sustained by ampicillin/piperacillin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae were observed over a two-month period. One culture obtained from a 12% saccarose multiple-dose solution allowed the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae. During the inspections performed by the Hospital Infection Control Team, using the check-list for the evaluation of the NICU staff compliance to the infection control measures, several breaches in the infection control policy were identified and control measures were adopted. In our case the definition of a specific check-list led to the adoption of the correct control measures. Further studies would be helpful in order to develop a standard check-list able to identify critical flows in the adhesion to the guidelines. It could be used in different NICUs and allow to obtain reproducible levels of infection control.

RESUMO

To estimate the effect of delay to surgery for hip fracture on 30-day mortality using a risk adjustment strategy to control for the effect of demographic and clinical confounders. This observational study was carried out on all patients admitted with a hip fracture and discharged between January 2004 and December 2007 from a teaching hospital. Gender, age, time to surgery, mortality and medical comorbidities were derived from hospital discharge records (SDO), while International Normalised Ratio (INR) and American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) score were retrieved from clinical records. Backward stepwise logistic regression was used to identify potential confounders in the relationship between time to surgery and mortality. A final multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out controlling for the effect of confounders. In the 1320 patients who underwent surgery (mean age = 83 years, % female = 76.8%), time to surgery was two days or less in 746 (56.5%) patients and 30-day mortality was 3.5%. The interventions included partial or total hip replacement (N=820, 62.1%) and reduction and internal fixation (N=500, 37.9%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients with a time to surgery greater than two days had a 2-fold increase in 30-day mortality after adjusting for age, gender, and comorbidity (OR=1.992, 95% CI 1.065-3.725). In a second model also including ASA score the odd ratio decreased to 1.839 (95% CI 0.971-3.486). Patients with a hip fracture should have surgery within two days from admission in order to reduce 30-day mortality.
