Analysis of the survey results of two methods for nosocomial infection prevalence survey
Objective To compare the survey results of two methods of nosocomial infection prevalence survey,and to provide a reference for further improving the prevalence survey method.Methods All hospitalized patients in a hospital on November 28,2018 were selected as the research subjects,and the results of two methods for nosocomial infection prevalence survey were compared to determine a better prevalence survey method.Results This survey included 2 239 hospitalized patients.The prevalence rates of nosocomial infection obtained from traditional manual survey and information-based survey were 3.22%and 2.90%,respectively.The results obtained by traditional manual survey and information-based survey were basically the same.The specificity,total coincidence rate,positive predictive value,and positive likelihood ratio of information-based survey were all higher than those of traditional manual survey.Conclusion The prevalence survey is mainly based on information-based survey,and the quality control through manual survey is helpful to further improve the level of hospital infection surveillance.
