Study Finds MRSA Screening Saves Hospitals Money
研究发现：筛选MRSA患者会节约医院钱
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Screening patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) produces cost savings for the whole hospital, according to a study that used a statistical simulation model published in the February issue of the American Journal of Infection Control, the official publication of APIC - the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology.
二月份，美国--（华盛顿商业新闻社）--美国感染控制杂志，APIC （感染控制和流行病学专家联盟）官方出版社出版的关于筛选ICU内的MRSA患者会节约整个医院的成本的数学模型。
Conducted by a team of researchers at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center, a 279-bed teaching hospital and outpatient facility, the goal of the study was to determine the costs per hospital admission of screening ICU patients for MRSA and isolating patients who tested positive.
由明尼阿波利斯退伍军人医学中心的团队研究，其拥有279张床位的教学医院和门诊设施，研究的目标是要确定住进ICU的患者中每个筛选MRSA阳性的患者和单间患者所治疗所花费的金额之间的关系。
They found that even under the most conservative assumptions the screening would be cost-neutral if early detection of MRSA would lead to a reduced rate of infection and transmission within the hospital. Under optimal assumptions, screening could result in savings of almost $500 per hospital admission.
他们发现筛查最保守的假设也许是中立的：如果早期发现MRSA患者会减少医院内的感染率和传播率。最理想的假设，筛查会节约每个住院病人的500美元的费用。
The research was led by John A. Nyman, PhD, a health economist at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health.
该研究由美国明尼阿波利斯大学公共卫生学院的卫生经济学John A. Nyman,博士所带领。
It assessed the possible impact and cost effectiveness of active detection of MRSA and isolation on frequency of MRSA infections in the ICUs and hospital-wide.
该研究评估了有效检测MRSA与医院和ICU内频繁感染MRSA患者隔离的费用效益问题。
“This study presents evidence of the cost savings from implementing a program that targets the ICU population but that has an effect that is hospital-wide,” according to Dr. Nyman and his colleagues.
根据Nyman教授和他的团体：该项研究提供证据是关于目标ICU人数甚至是医院内执行一项措施会节约医疗成本。
“Although we find that this program pays for itself through the MRSA infections prevented, it is important that hospitals also consider how this type of program fits into their overall institutional, infection-prevention programs and realize that this intervention is only one of many alternative interventions that are designed to prevent healthcare-associated infections.”
虽然我们认为此项目的实施可以预防MRSA感染，这是很重要的,医院也考虑这种类型的项目符合他们感染预防的整体制度、程序和意识到这只是设计出来的预防MRSA感染的许多预防选择的措施之一。
The authors contend that this approach could complement other strategies to further reduce the incidence of MRSA infection. “We owe it to the patients to continue to assess and improve our preventive strategies,” they say in conclusion.
该作者说这种方法可以弥补其他策略,以进一步降低MRSA感染的发病率。他们说的结论是”我们应给予病人继续评估和提高的预防策略,”
MRSA is an antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can lead to severe infections and is associated with approximately 19,000 deaths annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
根据疾病预防控制中心的数据，MRSA是一种耐抗生素的细菌，它能导致严重的感染和与每年19000死亡者相关联，
A 2006 survey conducted by APIC showed that 46 out of every 1,000 inpatients were either infected or colonized with MRSA -- a rate eight times higher than previous estimates. The annual cost to treat MRSA in hospitalized patients is estimated at $3.2 to 4.2 billion.
住院患者中感染MRSA者所花的年度费用被估计是3.2-4.2亿。
Some policy-makers have recommended universal screening to reduce hospital-acquired MRSA infection.
相关政策制定者应推荐普遍筛选会减少医院内获得性MRSA感染。
APIC has called for a more targeted, evidence-based approach that allows hospitals to tailor screening efforts based on their unique situation and recently published an updated Guide to the Elimination of MRSA Transmission in Hospital Settings, 2nd Edition, including a section on active surveillance testing.
APIC呼吁应更有针对性,循证的方式,使得医院基础筛选建立在特殊的情况和最近出版的一篇医院内消除MRSA传播消除指南之上。包括积极的筛选机制。
“The findings from this research by Dr. Nyman and colleagues are interesting but also highlight the importance of application of these by infection preventionists, based on risk assessment at their affiliated facilities,” said APIC 2011 President Russell Olmsted, MPH, CIC, Epidemiologist in Infection Prevention & Control Services, St. Joseph Mercy Health System, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
APIC 2011年CIC 流行病学感染预防控制志愿者，St. Joseph Mercy健康系统Ann Arbor, Michigan. Russell Olmsted博士说“从Dr. Nyman 及团队的研究发现是有意义的，但是也考虑为了预防感染所付出的过高的成本，基于所有设施设备中风险因素考虑”
“A broad focus that addresses prevention of all pathogens is critical. With the U.S. government’s increased focus on preventing all HAIs, it will be even more important for facilities to make sure they are doing everything possible to reduce and ultimately eliminate these infections.”
一个更广泛的关注点是关于所有诊疗措施都是有风险的。美国政府更加关注预防医院感染事件。更重要的是政府应给医院提供设施确保医院减少和消除医院感染。
