<strong>KCE</strong> reports 102 Nosocomial Infections – Mortality and Costs 21<br />

3.3 RESULTS<br />

3.3.1 Data received<br />

3.3.1.1 Participat<strong>in</strong>g Hospitals <strong>in</strong> Study<br />

Of the 22 hospitals which participated dur<strong>in</strong>g the full year 2003 to the surveillance of<br />

nosocomial bloodstream <strong>in</strong>fections, 20 hospitals accepted to participate to the study<br />

and did send their data with<strong>in</strong> the planned timeframe to the Technical Cell (clos<strong>in</strong>g date<br />

15 July 2006). For a technical reason (a problem of software version), the data from 1<br />

hospital could not be used. Thus the present report is based on data from 19 hospitals.<br />

The list of participat<strong>in</strong>g hospitals is <strong>in</strong> appendix.<br />

3.3.1.2 Number of Nosocomial Bloodstream Infections<br />

A total of 3302 bloodstream <strong>in</strong>fections were reported to the NSIH dur<strong>in</strong>g the year<br />

2003 by the 19 participat<strong>in</strong>g hospitals. Some of these <strong>in</strong>fections started with<strong>in</strong> 2 days of<br />

hospital admission, and are therefore considered as non nosocomial. A total of 2762<br />

correspond<strong>in</strong>g stays (83.6%) only could be retrieved from the M<strong>in</strong>imal Cl<strong>in</strong>ical Data<br />

(MCD) database. One possible explanation for the <strong>in</strong>completeness of the l<strong>in</strong>kage is that<br />

the MCD 2003 database is based on patients discharged <strong>in</strong> 2003, while the NBSI<br />

database conta<strong>in</strong>s also patients <strong>in</strong>fected <strong>in</strong> 2003 but discharged <strong>in</strong> 2004. From the 2762<br />

l<strong>in</strong>ked <strong>in</strong>fections, 787 were declared with<strong>in</strong> 2 days of hospital admission, and were<br />

excluded from analysis. The l<strong>in</strong>k was made with the M<strong>in</strong>imal F<strong>in</strong>ancial Data (MFD), and<br />

other checks were performed to verify the consistency of the data. F<strong>in</strong>ally, 1839 stays<br />

were available for the cost analysis.<br />

The 1839 stays with a NBSI are distributed across 254 different APR-DRG. The 10<br />

most common APR-DRGs are given <strong>in</strong> Table 3.3 (all data are <strong>in</strong> appendix). The three<br />

most common APR-DRGs are surgical (tracheotomy, bowel procedures and<br />

procedures not related to the diagnosis of admission).<br />

While it was confirmed that these <strong>in</strong>fections were not the reason for admission, the fact<br />

that 51 stays (2.7%) are classified <strong>in</strong> the APR-DRG Septicemia br<strong>in</strong>gs some doubts to<br />

the cod<strong>in</strong>g of these hospitalisations. This cod<strong>in</strong>g problem was not restricted to a few<br />

hospitals.<br />
