摘要: Objective: To determine how many infections are missed if the postdischarge surveillance (PDS) follow-up of intensive care unit (ICU) patients that is required by National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System method not done. Design: ICU were followed up and results with PDS (gold standard) without compared. Setting: Surgical or interdisciplinary ICUs in eight German acute-care hospitals. Patients: All 1,857 within a 6-month period participating (a total 9,129 ICU-patient–days). Results: Without PDS, 45 urinary tract (UTIs) diagnosed, compared 53 PDS; thus, 15% UTIs no was performed. Three nosocomial pneumonias (4%) one bloodstream infection (8%) also carried out PDS. A 198 (NIs) recorded to 175 NIs Approximately 12% all ICU-associated Conclusions: Since it very time-consuming follow after their transfer from ICU, we do perform course routine surveillance.
