Nosocomial Infections in a Community Hospital in Mexico
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
Results from prospective surveillance of nosocomial infections (NIs) in a small community hospital were evaluated, and a case-control study was conducted. The rate of 1.4 NIs per 100 discharges determined by prospective surveillance was found to be underestimated. Prematurity, pediatric service, surgery, length of stay, and age were independently associated with NI.
