Attributable Length of Stay, Mortality Risk, and Costs of Bacterial Health Care-Associated Infections in Australia: A Retrospective Case-cohort Study

X. J. Lee et al.

Summary: The study found that Escherichia coli urinary tract infections had the most significant impact on hospital length of stay among the 5 studied pathogens, and that antimicrobial-resistant infections resulted in higher healthcare costs for patients infected with third-generation cephalosporin or methicillin-resistant strains.

Comparing Charlson and Elixhauser comorbidity indices with different weightings to predict in-hospital mortality: an analysis of national inpatient data

Narayan Sharma et al.

Summary: The study aimed to derive a new set of Swiss Elixhauser comorbidity weightings and compare them with the Charlson and Elixhauser-based van Walraven weights in predicting in-hospital mortality. The new Swiss weightings slightly improved the prediction of in-hospital mortality in Swiss hospitals, supporting population-based analysis and seeking specific cohort-based weightings.

What Is Driving the Epidemiology of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections in Europe?

Michael A. Borg et al.

Summary: The study found that in EU/EEA countries, the main predictor of MRSA prevalence is the use of more than one antibiotic per patient. The impact of hand hygiene on MRSA was unclear, possibly due to suboptimal consumption of alcohol hand-rub in Europe. Hospital and infection control structural factors did not appear to be relevant at the overall national level.
