Evaluation on the effect of applying comprehensive interventions on pro-moting pathogen detection before antimicrobial therapy in hospitalized pa-tients
Objective To explore the effect of applying comprehensive interventions on promoting pathogen detec-tion before antimicrobial therapy in hospitalized patients.Methods Hospitalized patients who received therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents in a tertiary first-class hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the research subjects.Comprehensive intervention measures were implemented from January 2021.The pathogen detec-tion rates,detection classification,and detection rates of key monitored departments before antimicrobial therapy were compared between the pre-intervention group(January-December 2020)and the post-intervention group(Janu-ary-December 2021).Results A total of 10 239 hospitalized patients who received therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents were included in analysis,4 526 cases were in the pre-intervention group and 5 713 cases in the post-interven-tion group.The pathogen detection rates before antimicrobial therapy,before restricted grade antimicrobial therapy,and before special grade antimicrobial therapy after intervention were 94.56%,94.72%,and 96.03%,respective-ly,which were higher than 83.74%,84.47%,and 84.95%before intervention,with statistical significance(all P<0.05).The detection rate of targeted pathogens after intervention was 64.87%,higher than that before interven-tion(28.04%),with statistically significant difference(P<0.05).The pathogen detection rates before therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents in departments of critical care medicine,pulmonary and critical care medicine,pediatrics,neurosurgery,and general surgery after intervention were 93.20%,91.17%,92.20%,94.12%,and 91.15%,re-spectively,higher than the rates before intervention,namely 85.00%,82.19%,83.20%,83.33%,and 83.03%,respectively,with statistical significance(all P<0.05).Conclusion The application of comprehensive intervention measures can improve the pathogen detection rate before antimicrobial therapy of hospitalized patients.Close atten-tion should be paid to the pathogen detection indicators related to healthcare-associated infection diagnosis and for the detection of sterile body fluid.
