Healthcare associated infections (HAIs)
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and pneumonia are common healthcare associated infections
However, reporting is only currently required for device-associated infections at these sites• Catheter associated UTIs• Ventilator associated pneumonia

Device associated HAIs
Substantial decreases in CA-UTI, CLA-BSI, and VAP have been seen due to prevention strategies• Primarily focused on aseptic insertion, maintenance,
early removal, and technological changes in devices

Device associated HAIs
Because prevention strategies have focused on the devices themselves, the same reduction has not been seen in non-device associated infections

Non-device associated HAIs
Because rates of device associated infection have dropped and all hospitalized patients are at risk, non-device infections represent a growing proportion of all HAIs

Non-device associated HAIs
Despite the growing importance of non-device associated HAIs, little is known about these infections• Incidence has been reported in a few studies, but most
focus on single year of data and/or are limited to single institutions No rates since 2012
• No studies on risk factors
• No intervention strategies currently recommended

Calculated quarterly rates of ND-HAIs• Infections per 10,000 hospitalization days
Poisson regression was used to assess potential linear trends in quarterly rates from 2013 to 2017
Cochran-Armitage trend tests (two-sided) to assess if proportion of ND-HAIs has changed from 2013-2017• Treats time as ordinal

Conclusions
Rates of ND-UTIs and ND-pneumonia have remained stable between 2013 – 2017• Consistent with trends seen from 2008-2012 at UNC
Hospitals
3 out of every 4 UTIs and pneumonia cases are non-device associated
Current targeted surveillance practices directed at device-associated HAIs may no longer be sufficient in acute care setting

Conclusions
Female sex, older adults, peptic ulcer disease, paralysis, immunosuppression, opioid use, TPN, and trauma patients at higher risk of ND-UTIs
Urinary retention, suprapubic catheters, and nephrostomy tubes may also increase patient risk

Conclusions
Female sex, older age, paraplegia, and immunosuppression have been show to increase the incidence of CA-UTIs• May suggest certain patients are at higher risk for all UTIs,
regardless of device use
Age may be a proxy for illness severity or frailty

Conclusions
Opioids and TPN also increased patient risk for infection
Opioids can also cause drug-induced urinary retention• May also be a proxy for acute pain and limited mobility
(especially after surgery), which may increase risk for UTIs
TPN has been associated with increased fungal infections, including UTIs, in hospitalized patients previously

Conclusions
Suprapubic catheters and nephrostomy tubes are not included as a device in CA-UTI definitions
Recent Cochrane review found no difference between indwelling urinary and suprapubic catheters on risk of symptomatic UTIs• Patients with suprapubic catheters were catheterized, on
average, for longer durations
Recommendations on the placement, maintenance, and removal of these devices are needed

Conclusions
Male sex, older age, ICU admission, chronic bronchitis/emphysema, CHF, paralysis, and immunosuppression associated with increased risk of ND-pneumonia
57

Conclusions
Older age, chronic pulmonary disease, paralysis and ICU stays have been associated with VAP
Male sex, chronic pulmonary disease, and CHF associated with community-acquired pneumonia
Findings suggest that some patients may be predisposed to pneumonia

Conclusions
We did not find that acid-suppressing mediations (histamine-2 agonists and PPIs) were associated with ND-pneumonia
Acid-suppressing medications have been associated with increased incidence of VAP, although evidence is mixed
UNC Hospitals narrowed indications for acid-suppressing therapies prior to 2015 • Changes in evidence-based guidelines and awareness of
potential adverse events

Conclusions
We also did not find that chlorhexidine mouthwash reduced ND-pneumonia
Few recent studies have shown that oral care prevented ND-pneumonia in high-risk patients • Neurologic injury patients, older adults
However, evidence for reducing VAP risk is mixed, and there are no current guidelines on oral care
Chlorhexidine mouthwash has also been associated with increased mortality

Strengths
First study to do a assess risk factors for ND-HAIs in acute care setting
Updated data on ND-HAIs trends
Captured variables using best current practices• Used CDC definitions and methodology to measure
outcome• Medication use confirmed using administration record• Immunosuppression measured through diagnoses,
medication use, and labs

Strengths
Robust statistical approach to account for complex study design• Repeated measures• Time-varying exposures• Missing data

![Page 63: Incidence and Risk Factors of Non-Device Associated ...spice.unc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Strassle-Hosp-Epi_5919.… · Potential risk factors for ND-pneumonia Risk Factors](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050214/5f603a9b9fd15f354d147f2e/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Limitations
Single institution study• Current targeted surveillance practices limit ability to study
ND-HAIs in other institutions or nationally
Comorbidities measured using ICD codes• Likely underestimates prevalence; misclassification is
expected to bias results towards null
Did not assess dose, duration, or indication for medication use

Limitations
Straight urinary catheterization was unable to be measured• Has been shown to increase UTI risk• Future studies should assess whether straight
catheterization explains increased risk of UTI among patients with paraplegia
Missing data• Unlikely to be missing at random• Used IPMW to attempt to minimize impact
