Hand Hygiene Noncompliance and the Cost of Hospital‐Acquired Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection
Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2010;31:357–364
Background.Hand hygiene noncompliance is a major cause of nosocomial infection. Nosocomial infection cost data exist, but the effect of hand hygiene noncompliance is unknown.
Objective.To estimate methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)‐related cost of an incident of hand hygiene noncompliance by a healthcare worker during patient care.
Design.Two models were created to simulate sequential patient contacts by a hand hygiene–noncompliant healthcare worker. Model 1 involved encounters with patients of unknown MRSA status. Model 2 involved an encounter with an MRSA‐colonized patient followed by an encounter with a patient of unknown MRSA status. The probability of new MRSA infection for the second patient was calculated using published data. A simulation of 1 million noncompliant events was performed. Total costs of resulting infections were aggregated and amortized over all events.
Setting.Duke University Medical Center, a 750‐bed tertiary medical center in Durham, North Carolina.
Results.Model 1 was associated with 42 MRSA infections (infection rate, 0.0042%). Mean infection cost was $47,092 (95% confidence interval [CI], $26,040–$68,146); mean cost per noncompliant event was $1.98 (95% CI, $0.91–$3.04). Model 2 was associated with 980 MRSA infections (0.098%). Mean infection cost was $53,598 (95% CI, $50,098–$57,097); mean cost per noncompliant event was $52.53 (95% CI, $47.73–$57.32). A 200‐bed hospital incurs $1,779,283 in annual MRSA infection–related expenses attributable to hand hygiene noncompliance. A 1.0% increase in hand hygiene compliance resulted in annual savings of $39,650 to a 200‐bed hospital.
Conclusions.Hand hygiene noncompliance is associated with significant attributable hospital costs. Minimal improvements in compliance lead to substantial savings.

手卫生违规与MRSA医院感染的成本
医院感染控制与流行病学2010;31:357-364
背景:手卫生违规是医院感染的主要原因。医院感染成本数据的存在对于手卫生违规现象的影响尚属未知。
目标:估算医务人员护理病人过程中手卫生违规引发MRSA感染的成本。
设计:创建两个模拟手卫生违规的医务人员顺序接触病人的样本组。样本1组涉及与MRSA感染情况未知病人的医疗接触。样本2组涉及与MRSA定植病人接触后再与MRSA感染情况未知病人的医疗接触。第二个病人新发MRSA感染的概率使用正式公布的数据资料计算。共进行100万例手卫生违规模拟。感染引发的费用按总成本与例次成本统计。
环境:皇家大学医学中心,拥有750张床位的北卡罗来纳州达拉姆市三级医疗中心。 结果:样本1组共发生MRSA感染42例(感染率为0.0042%)。平均感染成本为$47,092(95%置信区间,$26,040–$68,146);每次手卫生违规的平均成本为$1.98(95%置信区间, $0.91–$3.04)。样本2组共发生MRSA感染980例(感染率为0.098%)。平均感染成本为$53,598(95%置信区间,$50,098–$57,097);每次手卫生违规的平均成本为$52.53(95%置信区间, $47.73–$57.32)。手卫生违规造成一间200张床位的医院每年MRSA感染所致支出$1,779,283。手卫生依从性每提高1%可为一间200张床位的医院每年节约$39,650。
结论:手卫生违规与于医院成本有着重大关联。极小的依从性改进可带来可观的节省(小小的依从性提高可大大节约医疗成本)。 |
