Résumé

Objective: To determine the incidence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Methodology: This was a prospective, multicenter, analytical, and descriptive study conducted from November 1, 2023, to April 30, 2024 (6 months). All patients aged 18 years and older, infected and uninfected, with a hospital stay of 48 hours or more were included. The variables studied were sociodemographic factors, length of stay before and during ICU admission, risk factors, mode of discharge from ICU, invasive procedures, samples taken, and bacterial resistance. Results: A total of 124 patients were included, 32 of whom were infected (25.8%). A male predominance was observed, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.46. The mean age was 39.81 ± 16.33 years, ranging from 18 to 73 years. Urinary tract infection was the most common healthcare-associated infection. Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) were predominant (68.6%). The most frequent microorganisms were E. coli (12.2%), K. pneumoniae (12.2%), and coagulase-negative Stapholococcus (12.2%). The overall mortality rate was 34.7%, and the majority of these organisms were resistant to most of the antibiotics tested. Conclusion: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are very common in intensive care, particularly in patients with invasive devices. Emphasis must be placed on hygiene protocols in the ICU and stricter control over antimicrobial prescriptions.
