| Abstract |
To assess the determining factors of late healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and bacterial multiple drug resistance in neonatal intensive care. This is a case-control study, conducted between January 2013 and December 2017, in a neonatal intensive care unit in the state of Ceará, Brazil. Newborns showing late HAIs were considered cases and those without infection, the control. Variables with p-values ≤ 0.05 in our initial bivariate regressive analysis were included in a non-conditional hierarchical logistic model for multivariate analysis. P-values below 0.01 were considered significant. Of the 1,132 participants, 427 (37.7%) showed late healthcare-associated infections. Of these, 54 (12.6%), positive blood cultures, of which 14.9% contained multidrug-resistant bacteria. Bivariate analysis showed the protective effect of the feminine phenotype (OR = 0.71; 95%CI: 0.56-0.90) and of gestational ages ≥ 34 weeks (OR = 0.48; 95%CI: 0.30-0.75). In earlier-born preterm infants, late infections were 18 times more likely in those with less than 30 week-gestations (OR = 18.61; 95%CI: 9.84-35.22) and four times higher in those weighing less than 1,500 g (OR = 4.18; 95%CI: 3.12-5.61). Mechanical ventilation increased infection odds by more than seven times (OR = 7.14; 95%CI: 5.26-9.09); as did parenteral nutrition (OR = 5.88; 95%CI: 4.54-7.69); central venous catheters (OR = 10.00; 95%CI: 6.66-16.66); the number of catheters used (OR = 3.93; 95%CI: 3.02-5.12); surgery (OR = 4.00; 95%CI: 2.27-7.14); and hospitalization time (OR = 1.06; 95%CI: 1.05-1.07). The association between preterm infants with less than 30 week-gestations (OR = 5.62; 95%CI: 1.83-17.28); mechanical ventilation (OR = 1.84; 95%CI: 1.26-2.68); central venous catheters (OR = 2.48; 95%CI: 1.40-4.37); and hospitalization time (OR = 1.06; 95%CI: 1.05-1.07) remained significant after adjustment. Among deaths, 41 (55.4%) were associated with late infections. Better practices should be adopted in caring for the premature, as well as in the rational use of procedures, to avoid late healthcare-associated infections, preventable deaths, and risks of bacterial multiple drug resistance and environmental contamination. |

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 09 June 2022.
All research outputs
#22,774,430
of 25,392,582 outputs
Outputs from Revista de Saúde Pública
#988
of 1,139 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#377,095
of 443,636 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista de Saúde Pública
#17
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,392,582 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,139 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% 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 443,636 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 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.
