Objective. To validate the nosocomial infections survei- llance system, establish its impact in morbi-mortality. Ma- terial and methods. Surveillance of every single patient admited during a one month period was done by one of us (DMG). Each posibile case was discussed with two other hospital epidemiologists (SPLR, MSRF). This intensive sur- veillance was compared against the routinely surveillance performed by the nurses. We included all hospitalized pa- tients between 11 th July and 12 th of August according to CDC (Atlanta, GA) nosocomial infections definitions. Patients were followed everyday and information about age, gender, un- derlying diagnosis, microorganisms responsible for nosoco- mial infections, hospital length of stay and mortality. Results. During the study period 429 were admitted, 45 developed a nosocomial infection (cases) and 384 did not (controls). The incidence of nosocomial infections was 10.48 cases/ 100 discharges. The sensitivity and specificity of the survei- llance system was 95.3 and 98.7%, respectively. Mortality in infected was 11.11% and in non infected was 2.4%. The ave- rage length of stay was 20 and 11days for cases and non infected respectively (p< 0.01). Urinary tract infections were the most common NI (42%), secondary bacteremia (14≤ %), pneumonia (11.11%) and deep surgical site infection (9.25%). The surgical wound infection rates were: 1.3%, 1.9% and 1.9% for clean, clean-contaminated and contaminated wounds. Patients with rapidly fatal diseases had an increa- sed frequency of infections. The microorganisms most com- monly isolated were Escherichia coli (28%), Staphylococcus aureus (11.11%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8.6%). The le- vel of antibiotic resistance was in average of 43% for those antibiotics tested. Conclusions. The sensitivity and specifi- Rangel-Frausto MS, Morales-García D, Báez-Martínez R, Ibarra-Blancas J, Ponce de León-Rosales S. Validación de un programa de vigilancia de infecciones nosocomiales.
