Abstract

Aim:To estimate the prevalence ofNI in three private hospitals and identify the related risk factors in Jeddah , Saudi Arabia. Method:This was a retrospective observational study conducted at three private hospitals, Jeddah , Saudi Arabia . It included all hospitalized patient in ICU and surgical ward from January 2017 to August 2018. Result:The samples mean age (48.58) with SD+16.65. Out of 398 inpatients, 234 (58.7%) were admitted to ICU and 164 (41.3%) were admitted to surgical ward. The most common diagnosis were as following; HTN (20.6%), followed by CNS (19.8%). Fourth of the cases 111 (27.9%) had DM. The median score of LOS was 4 days. Out of 398 patients, 14 (3.5%) were HAI, 12 positive cases were ICU patients, and 2 were ward patients. Infection sites were as following UTI (2.5%), RTI (2.3%), 3 (0.8%) and 2 (0.5%). The most common organism were E-Coli alone or in combination in 6 (40.1%) cases, followed by Klebsilla Pneumonia and Staph aureus equally 3 (20.0%). Less than tenth 27 (6.8%) died. Those who were older age , those with longer hospitalization, presence ofdrain, bedridden and death having significantly higher HAI than others (p <0.0001). Conclusion:This study provides a baseline information of HAIs and associated risk factors for future surveillance. The proportion of hospital acquired infection was (3.5%). The current findings can be utilized toward planning a surveillance program for nosocomial infection as a step toward a better infection control policy.
