Abstract

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are a major challenge, especially in intensive care units (ICUs), where they lead to increased morbidity, mortality, prolonged stays, and higher healthcare costs. This study aimed to determine HAI rates, identify causative microorganisms, and assess associated risk factors among inpatients at Thong Nhat Hospital's ICU in 2024. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted from January to June 2024, including all eligible ICU inpatients. Data collection utilized medical records. The prevalence of HAIs was 4.9%, with the most common types being hospital-acquired pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and urinary tract infections. The primary causative agents were Gram-negative bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Factors associated with HAIs included age, underlying medical conditions, duration of endotracheal intubation, tracheostomy, duration of tracheostomy, urinary catheterization, duration of urinary catheter use, duration of central venous catheter use, duration of nasogastric tube placement, and length of stay in the. The HAI rate was 4.9%. Factors associated with HAIs included age, comorbidities, invasive procedures, and length of ICU-PCU stay. Strengthening infection control measures is essential to reduce HAIs and improve patient outcomes.
