Abstract

GARCIA-CENOZ, M. et al. Prevalence of nosocomial infection in Navarre: Aggregated data of the EPINE study for 2005. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2007, vol.30, n.1, pp.89-99. ISSN 1137-6627.

Nosocomial infection is a serious problem of morbidity and mortality that, according to the 2003 national prevalence data affected 6,5-7% of all the patients admitted in Spanish hospitals. Our aim is to assess the prevalence of nosocomial infection in Navarre, from the aggregated data of each participant in the EPINE (Study of Prevalence of Nosocomial Infection in Spain) in 2005, and to analyse different features of the nosocomial infections to compare them with the global data for Spain. The prevalence of patients with nosocomial infection was 5,6% and the prevalence of patients with community infection was 13,2%. The prevalence of nosocomial infection, excluding those that acquired the nosocomial infection in a previous admission to the hospital, was 6,2%. The prevalence of community infection was 14,2%.

Keywords : Prevalence; Nosocomial Infection; EPINE.
