Multifaceted Control Interventions for Healthcare-associated Infections in a Kidney Transplant Intensive Care Unit: Clinical Outcome Improvement and Bundle Adherence.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are preventable complications that overwhelm the healthcare system. The implementation of multifaceted control intervention actions in the intensive care setting modifies clinical outcomes, but its effectiveness has not been specifically investigated for high-risk patients, such as kidney transplant recipients (KTRs).

Methods

This observational retrospective natural experiment evaluated the effectiveness of multifaceted control interventions (bundles) in reducing HAIs in a KTR intensive care unit. We also measured the bundle adherence rate during 16 mo in the after era.

Results

We included 1257 KTRs, 684 before and 573 in the postintervention period. After the bundle implementation, the incidence density of device-ass
