Taiwan was reported to have the highest incidence Taiwan was reported to have the highest incidence and prevalence of end-stagerenal disease (ESRD). Thus, healthcare workers need to have in-depth knowledgeon dialysis-related complications, such as healthcare-associated infections. A retrospective study was conducted between 2006 and 2016, and we evaluatedvarious healthcare-associated infections including bloodstream and vascular accessrelatedinfections according to the definition of the Centers for Disease Control, Taiwan. Totally, there were 466, 861 person-times of hemodialysis during theseyears. Hemodialysis-related infections occurred 345 times in 276 subjects, and the incidence density was 0.74 per 1000 patient-times, including 0.56 of blood stream infection cases and 0.17‰ of vascular access-related infection cases. The riskratio (RR) of inpatients was 12.46 (95% confidence interval [CI] 10.08~15.41)compared with that of outpatients (p < 0.001). Approximately 23.1% of the identified pathogens were methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),which was prevalent before 2012 and became less predominant afterward (31.6%vs. 13.5%; odds ratio, 2.95 [95% CI 1.73~5.03]; p < 0.001). The infection densities of various vascular accesses were as follows: 0.11 per 1000 catheter-times for the Taiwan was reported to have the highest incidence and prevalence of end-stagerenal disease (ESRD).

The infection densitiesof various vascular accesses were as follows: 0.11 per 1000 catheter-times for the arteriovenous fistula, 0.81‰ for the arteriovenous graft, 4.26‰ for the permanentcentral venous catheter (CVC), and 5.57‰ for the temporary double lumen CVC.The following are the RRs of these vascular accesses: arteriovenous graft, 7.4 (95%CI 4.13~13.25); permanent CVC, 39.1 (95% CI 23.18~65.86); and temporary CVC, The early establishment of arteriovenous fistula and skin preparation using chlorhexidine gluconate are recommended with increasing prevalence of MRSA infection. Lastly, healthcare workers should be aware that ESRD subjects hospitalized for acute illnesses are at risk of acquiring hemodialysis-related infections. |
