Risk factors for infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with ventilator-asssociated pneumonia. Intensive Care Med 1994; 20 (3):93-198Rello J, Ausina V, Ricart M et al. Risk factors for infection by Pseudo- monas aeruginosa in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia. Intensive ...
Bacterial pneumonia is the most common type of pneumonia and often only affects one area of your lung.2It sometimes occurs after you've had some other type of infection that weakens your immune system, like a cold or the flu, but the condition can also occur on its own without a precedin...
The cumulative incidence of pneumonia and UTI within 7 days of the primary procedure were 0.21 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.18–0.25) and 0.29 (95% CI: 0.26–0.33), respectively. Patient-related risk factors for infection were being 80 years or older, gender and a comorbidity burden ...
Extrinsic risk factors for pneumonia in the patient at high risk of infection Most nosocomial pathogens cause pneumonia through the following sequence: transit to the patient on the hands of medical personnel or perhaps in food, proliferation in the nasopharynx, and subsequent pulmonary aspiration. The...
This phenomenon would work deter the clinician’s attempts at detecting the infection and lead to an underestimation of aspiration. Nonetheless, both events can lead to catastrophic effects on treatment outcomes. Dysphagia is a common consequence during an RT course. No specific coding for dysphagia ...
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection increases the risk of pneumonia in young children, according to research published in the January 6, 2015, edition ofPLOS Medicine. For their study, Daniel Weinberger, of the Yale University School of Public Health, and colleagues analyzed data from more...
For all systemic medications, the most common types of serious infection (in order of frequency) were cellulitis, pneumonia, and bacteremia/sepsis (Table 3). The analysis of pooled PS-adjusted HRs across the Optum and MarketScan databases adjusted for overlap (Table 3 and Figure) showed a ...
We conducted a retrospective review to characterize demographically the patients older than 15 years with H1N1 infection requiring hospitalization and assess the risk factors for pneumonia development. The most common underlying medical condition was a respiratory disorder such as asthma or chronic ...
Among the 8 viruses, parainfluenza virus (4.8% for 1% respiratory viral infection increase, 95% CI 1.6 to 8.1, P = .003), coronavirus (9.2%, 3.9 to 14.8, P < .001), and metapneumovirus (44%, 2.0 to 103.4, P = .038) were associated with increased number of incident...
These findings provided evidence for policy makers and hospital managers to make effective infection prevention and control measures to constrain the rising HAIs. It is also required that more cost-effective infection prevention and control measures should be widely applied in routinely medical treatment ...
