Analysis demonstrates risk factors for bloodstream infections in 4290 patients, highlighting potential for personalized infection prevention strategies.
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are a significant burden to patients, hospitals, health systems and society. Infection prevention and control measures are well established and evidence-based, however, no detailed risk assessment is included aiming at personalized IPC measures. In preparation of an individual risk assessment application for decision support for hospital-onset bloodstream infections (HOBSI), we present initial findings of re-analyses of a dataset including 4290 patients from a large study. We applied logistic regression modeling and a random forest approach to identify candidate risk parameters available in routine hospital data.
