Health Care Resource Use and Total Mortality After Hospital Admission for Severe COVID-19 Infections During the Initial Pandemic Wave in France: Descriptive Study

Health Care Resource Use and Total Mortality After Hospital Admission for Severe COVID-19 Infections During the Initial Pandemic Wave in France: Descriptive Study

In France, more than 200,000 patients have been hospitalized for severe COVID-19 infections in 2020, and 20% of them deceased [3]. Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 generated a high level of health care resource use (HRU) during hospitalization, with more than one-third of inpatients also requiring specific health care services after discharge [4].

Automated Identification of Postoperative Infections to Allow Prediction and Surveillance Based on Electronic Health Record Data: Scoping Review

Automated Identification of Postoperative Infections to Allow Prediction and Surveillance Based on Electronic Health Record Data: Scoping Review

Postoperative bacterial infections, including deep or superficial surgical site infections (SSIs), urinary tract infections (UTIs), and pneumonia, are the most frequent complications after surgery. Postoperative infections can be categorized into subtypes, usually based on location or severity according to the Clavien-Dindo classification [1]. The overall incidence of postoperative infections within 30 days of surgery varies between 6.5% and 25% [2-4].

Prediction of COVID-19 Infections for Municipalities in the Netherlands: Algorithm Development and Interpretation

Prediction of COVID-19 Infections for Municipalities in the Netherlands: Algorithm Development and Interpretation

On May 9, 2021, 1,406,517 infections were confirmed [5]. However, the distribution of the confirmed infections over the Dutch municipalities was not uniform. There were differences between the municipalities with respect to the number of confirmed infections (see Figure 1). This finding raised the question of why some municipalities were hit so hard by COVID-19.

From the Cochrane Library: Interventions for Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections in Adults

From the Cochrane Library: Interventions for Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections in Adults

Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) refer to severe life-threatening bacterial infections involving the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, or muscle. NSTIs can lead to serious morbidities and mortality. Diagnosis can be challenging, and a high index of suspicion is required. Useful clues include pain out of proportion to skin findings, manifestations of systemic toxicity, and lack of response to systemic antibiotics.

Emergence of a Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19): Protocol for Extending Surveillance Used by the Royal College of General Practitioners Research and Surveillance Centre and Public Health England

The objectives of this study are as follows: To monitor the burden of suspected COVID-19 activity in the community through primary care surveillance and clinical coding of possible COVID-19 cases referred into the containment pathway To provide virological evidence on the presence and extent of undetected community transmission of COVID-19 and monitor positivity rates among individuals presenting ILI or acute respiratory tract infections to primary care To estimate baseline susceptibility to COVID-19 in the

Relationship Between Staphylococcus aureus Carriage and Surgical Site Infections Following Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty in the South Asian Population: Protocol for a Prospective Cohort Study

Relationship Between Staphylococcus aureus Carriage and Surgical Site Infections Following Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty in the South Asian Population: Protocol for a Prospective Cohort Study

It has been reported previously that preoperative identification and decolonization with muciprocin ointment decreased the risk of staphylococcal infections from 2.6% to 1.5%. In addition to this, the number of non-staphylococcal infections is also decreased [24]. Knowledge of geographical variation in antibiotic resistance patterns is not new. Studies have reported a higher prevalence of MRSA in South Asian countries, approximately as high as 10.7%-19.51% [25-27].
