NosoVeille – Bulletin de veille Avril 2015
5 / 28
Results: Among 15,845 hospital admissions, 140,186 central-line days and 221 CLABSIs were recorded
during the study period. In a multivariate model, the CLABSI rate per 1,000 central-line days was lower with
silver-coated NCs than with standard NCs (1.21 vs 1.79; incidence rate ratio=0.68 [95% CI: 0.52-0.89],
P=.005). A lower CLABSI rate per 1,000 central-line days for the silver-coated NCs versus the standard NCs
was observed with S. aureus (0.11 vs 0.30, P=.02), enterococci (0.10 vs 0.27, P=.03), and Gram-negative
organisms (0.28 vs 0.63, P=.003) but not with coagulase-negative staphylococci (0.31 vs 0.36) or Candida
spp. (0.42 vs 0.40).
Conclusions: The use of silver-coated NCs decreased the CLABSI rate by 32%. CLABSI reduction efforts
should include efforts to minimize contamination of NCs.

Background/Purpose: Patients with Acinetobacter pittii and Acinetobacter nosocomialis bacteremia have
lower mortality rates than those with Acinetobacter baumannii bacteremia. However, it is unknown whether
these organisms differ in outcomes of bacteremic patients. We conducted this study to answer this question.
Methods: In this retrospective study conducted at a teaching hospital in Taiwan, we enrolled all 86 patients
who had developed A. pittii bacteremia and those with A. nosocomialis bacteremia from 2000 to 2008 while
matching for age, sex, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, and appropriate
antimicrobial therapy. After adjustment, we accessed the clinical characteristics and 14- and 28-day
mortalities.
Results: We found that the patients with A. pittii bacteremia had multiple comorbidities less often and received
invasive procedures less frequently. The 14-day mortality rate of patients with A. pittii or A. nosocomialis
bacteremia was 14% and 7%, respectively, whereas their 28-day mortality rate was 17% and 9%,
respectively. Using the mortality rate in patients with A. nosocomialis bacteremia as a reference, the odds
ratios for the 14- and 28-day crude morality in those with A. pittii were 2.16 [95% confidence interval (CI),
0.77-6.05] and 2.06 (95% CI, 0.82-5.15), respectively, whereas the adjusted odds ratios for 14- and 28-day
mortality were 1.89 (95% CI, 0.56-6.14) and 1.67 (95% CI, 0.59-4.78) respectively.
Conclusion: Our 8-year study showed that the mortality rate of A. pittii bacteremia was higher but the
difference was not statistically significant.

Impact d’interventions de lutte contre le risque infectieux sur les taux de bactériémies à

Background: Reducing healthcare-associated infection (HCAI) is a UK national priority. Multiple national and
regional interventions aimed at reduction have been implemented in National Health Service acute hospitals,
but assessment of their effectiveness is methodologically challenging.
Aim: To assess the effectiveness of national and regional interventions undertaken between 2004 and 2008
on rates of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and meticillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus
(MSSA) bacteraemia within acute hospitals in the East Midlands, using interrupted time-series analysis.
Methods: We used segmented regression to compare rates of MRSA and MSSA bacteraemia in the pre-
intervention, implementation, and post-intervention phases for combined intervention packages in eight acute
hospitals.
