RESUMEN
Se efectuó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 9 centros hospitalarios situados en la ciudad de Santiago de Cuba, con vistas a determinar la prevalencia de infecciones asociadas a la asistencia sanitaria. Los epidemiólogos, residentes de Higiene y Epidemiología, así como las enfermeras de vigilancia de los hospitales realizaron entrevistas y revisión de historias clínicas a todos los pacientes ingresados. En el análisis estadístico se utilizaron distribuciones de frecuencias y como medidas de resumen las tasas, los porcentajes y las proporciones. La prevalencia de las citadas infecciones fue de 5,7 por ciento. Predominaron la herida quirúrgica, vía respiratoria baja, piel y vías urinarias como localizaciones más frecuentes. Entre los factores de riesgo más importantes figuraron herida quirúrgica, punción venosa y disección de la vena. A pesar de que 50,0 por ciento de los pacientes infectados no se habían registrado, se encontraron la Klebsiella y el Staphylococcus como gérmenes más frecuentes(AU)
