| How are SSI rates per 100 operative procedures calculated? | by dividing the number of SSIs by the number of specific operative procedures and multiplying the result by 100. | x SSI rates per 100 operative procedures are calculated by dividing the number of SSIs by the number of specific operative procedures and multiplying the result by 100. x SSIs will be included in the numerator of a rate based on the date of procedure, not the date of the HAI event. x SSI rates can be calculated separately for different types of operative procedures and stratified by the wound classification (clean, clean contaminated, contaminated, dirty). Classification of the surgical wound All surgical wounds are not uniformly prone to infection. x The type of wound influences the risk of infection. x It also aids in finding the source of infection. x It permits the diagnosis of infection even if culture facilities are not available. x It helps in determining whether antibiotics are necessary. | 56 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr19.pdf | x SSI rates per 100 operative procedures are calculated by dividing the number of SSIs by the number of specific operative procedures and multiplying the result by 100. x SSIs will be included in the numerator of a rate based on the date of procedure, not the date of the HAI event. | ||||
| How are device utilization rates for central lines and ventilators calculated? | dividing the number of days of device use by the number of patient-days | Calculation of incidence BSI rate (BSI per 1000 patient-days): divide the total number of reported BSI by the number of patient-days and then multiply by 1000. CLABSI rate (CLABSI per 1000 central line days): divide the total number of reported CLABSI by the number of central line days and then multiply by 1000. Device utilization rates: the device utilization rates for central lines and ventilators are calculated by dividing the number of days of device use by the number of patient-days. | 421 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr19.pdf | Device utilization rates: the device utilization rates for central lines and ventilators are calculated by dividing the number of days of device use by the number of patient-days. | 169 | page=169,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
| How is an outbreak defined in the context of HAIs? | an occurrence of disease at a rate greater than that expected within a specific geographical area over a defined time period | 152 National Guidelines for Infection Prevention and Control in Healthcare Facilities B. Management of HAI outbreaks An outbreak is defined as an occurrence of disease at a rate greater than that expected within a specific geographical area over a defined time period. In the context of HAIs, the geographical area may be a hospital, ward, intensive care unit (ICU) or operation room. When there are more cases of infection with the same organism than would normally be expected in one area or period, this constitutes an outbreak. It is important to investigate an HAI outbreak immediately, as the availability and quality of microbiological evidence and epidemiological data diminishes rapidly with time between illness and investigation. “Outbreaks” vs “Clusters” Sometimes small outbreaks are referred to as clusters (e.g. HBV and HCV). | 143 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr19.pdf | Management of HAI outbreaks An outbreak is defined as an occurrence of disease at a rate greater than that expected within a specific geographical area over a defined time period. | ||||
| How is the denominator for central line days calculated? | the number of patients with one or more temporary central lines on each unit under surveillance, each day | Healthcare-associated infections and their surveillance 147 Calculation of incidence rate x Central line days: the denominator is calculated as the number of patients with one or more temporary central lines on each unit under surveillance, each day. Surveillance staff should record the number of patients in the surveillance unit who have at least one central line in place. If a patient has more than one central line in place, itis still counted only as one central line day. x Patient-days: the denominator is calculated as the total number of patients per day in the unit under surveillance. Patient-days should be collected at the same time as central line days. x NICU patient-days: the denominator may be stratified by categories of birth weight:119 R <1000 g; R <1001–1500 g; R <1501–2500 g; and R > 2500 g. | 144 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr19.pdf | Healthcare-associated infections and their surveillance 147 Calculation of incidence rate x Central line days: the denominator is calculated as the number of patients with one or more temporary central lines on each unit under surveillance, each day. | ||||
| How is the rate of infectious diarrhoea calculated? | x Number of HAI patients with diarrhoea divided by the number of patient-days; then multiply by 1000. | The rate of infectious diarrhoea is calculated as x Number of HAI patients with diarrhoea divided by the number of patient-days; then multiply by 1000. x Neonatal patients can be categorized according to birth weight: R <1000 g; R <1001–1500 g; R <1501–2500 g; and R > 2500 g. Patients with multidrug-resistant organisms Contact precautions need to be initiated in patients that present with MDRO, including MRSA, VRE, multidrug-resistant Gram-negative organisms. With the exception of patients presenting with diarrhoea or bowel incontinence who can be identified without difficulty, it may be difficult to identify patients for whom contact precautions need to be initiated. | 50 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr19.pdf | The rate of infectious diarrhoea is calculated as x Number of HAI patients with diarrhoea divided by the number of patient-days; then multiply by 1000. x Neonatal patients can be categorized according to birth weight: R <1000 g; R <1001–1500 g; R <1501–2500 g; and R > 2500 g. | 170 | page=170,block=0 |
