“…Redder et al reported that patients with hospital-acquired UTI used indwelling urinary catheters more frequently and had more genitourinary or nervous system diseases than the control group [27]. In the present study, CNS diseases, especially cerebral infarction and dementia, can increase the incidence of hospital-acquired UTI.…”

Purpose. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors and the efficacy of the preventive measurements for the in-hospital complications of fall-related fractures. Methods. The data on older Chinese patients with fall-related fractures were collected, including information on the patients, diseases, and preventive measurements. The potential risk factors for the in-hospital complications included health status on admission, comorbidity, fractures, preventive measures of the complications, and drugs use for the comorbidity. After univariate analyses, multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to investigate the impact of the potential risk factors on the number of the complications and each individual complication, respectively, and the efficacy of the preventive measurements. Results. A total of 525 male and 1367 female were included in this study. After univariate analyses, multiple logistic regression showed that dementia, pneumonia, antidepressant, postural hypotension, and cerebral infarction could increase the incidence and number of comorbidities. Meanwhile, dementia has shown the strongest association with each individual complication. Conclusions. Different combinations of comorbidity, medication use, and preventive measurements were related to the in-hospital complications of fall-related fractures. Dementia emerged as the most important risk factor for these complications, while most of the preventive measurements could not reduce their incidences.

Background: Acquisition of Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) in intensive care units (ICUs) predispose patients to higher mortality rates and additional adverse events. Serbian adult ICUs are rarely investigated for HAIs. The aim of this study was to look into HAIs in an adult ICU and identify risk factors for acquisition of HAIs and mortality. Methods: This retrospective study included 355 patients hospitalized over a 2-year period. Patient characteristics, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and risk factors of acquisition and predictors of mortality in patients who had a HAI were examined. Results: HAIs were diagnosed in 32.7% of patients. Resistance rates > 50% were observed in all antimicrobials except for tigecycline (14%), colistin (9%), and linezolid (0%). Predictors of HAI acquisition were underlying viral CNS infections and invasive devices-urinary and central venous catheters, and nasogastric tubes. Diabetes mellitus and intubation (odds ratio 2.5 and 6.7, P = .042 and <.001) were identified as predictors for increased mortality in patients who had a HAI. Conclusions: Prevalence of HAIs and resistance rates are high compared to ICUs in other European countries. Risk factors for both acquisition of HAI and mortality were identified. Large-scale studies are necessary to look at HAIs in adult ICUs in Serbia.

“…Globally, 250 million people are affected per year and estimated 300 million people are at risk [2]. The frequency of UTIs depends on many risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, advanced age, urinary tract obstructions, immune-suppression, and neurological disorders [3]. Albeit a wide variety of causative agents were adduced with UTIs, the most common pathogens are E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis, E. faecalis and S. saprophyticus [4].…”
