BACKGROUND - To report the results of the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) multicenter study conducted in Mongolia from September 2013-March 2015.
METHODS - A device-associated health care-associated infection prospective surveillance study in 3 adult intensive care units (ICUs) from 3 hospitals using the U.
S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) definitions and INICC methods.
RESULTS - We documented 467 ICU patients for 2,133 bed days. The central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rate was 19. 7 per 1,000 central line days, the ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) rate was 43. 7 per 1,000 mechanical ventilator days, and the catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) rate was 15. 7 per 1,000 urinary catheter days; all of the rates are higher than the INICC rates (CLABSI: 4. 9; VAP: 16. 5; and CAUTI: 5. 3) and CDC-NHSN rates (CLABSI: 0. 8; VAP: 1. 1; and CAUTI: 1. 3). Device use ratios were also higher than the CDC-NHSN and INICC ratios, except for the mechanical ventilator device use ratio, which was lower than the INICC ratio. Resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to oxacillin was 100%. Extra length of stay was 15. 1 days for patients with CLABSI, 7. 8 days for patients with VAP, and 8. 2 days for patients with CAUTI. Extra crude mortality in the ICUs was 18. 6% for CLABSI, 17. 1% for VAP, and 5. 1% for CAUTI.
CONCLUSIONS - Device-associated health care-associated infection rates and most device use ratios in our Mongolian hospitals' ICUs are higher than the CDC-NSHN and INICC rates.
