| Abstract |
A retrospective case-control study was performed to assess risk factors and the clinical and economic consequences associated with acquisition of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CR-AB) in an intensive care unit (ICU) over a 24-month period. CR-AB was acquired by 64 of 1431 ICU admissions; each was matched with two controls. Risk factors associated with CR-AB acquisition included ICU-wide variables, such as 'colonization pressure' (the prevalence of ICU colonized patients) and ICU antibiotic use over the preceding three months, as well as patient-related variables. Among colonized patients, risk factors for CR-AB infection included transfusion and 'colonization density' (the proportion of body sites colonized with CR-AB). CR-AB infection was independently associated with increased hospital mortality [mortality difference: 20%; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1-40%], prolonged ICU stay (median length of stay difference: 15 days; 95% CI: 9-21 days) and prolonged hospital stay (30 days, 11-38 days) compared with matched controls. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 February 2007.
All research outputs
#17,286,379
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Hospital Infection
#3,322
of 4,044 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#149,560
of 173,596 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Hospital Infection
#17
of 19 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,044 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.9. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 173,596 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 19 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
