Abstract
Background: This study aimed to investigate the Hospital-Acquired
Conditions (HACs) and find deficits in our hospital, so as to improve
the incidence of HACs in China from our retrospect. Methods: We
conducted statistics on the incidence and the percentage of HACs, and
managed the cost and length of stay of the 950 patients went through
HACs in our hospital from 2016 to 2018. Results: The overall incidence
was 0.571%. The two most common conditions with the most cost were deep
vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolisms (PE) (351), and surgical
site infections (SSI) (143), which were followed closely by
manifestations of poor glycemic control (53), vascular
catheter–associated infections (VCAIs) (52), stage III and IV pressure
ulcers (49), catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) (33),
and falls and trauma (30). Iatrogenic pneumothorax with venous
catheterization (7) only occupied small portions. Blood incompatibility
and air embolism didn’t happen in the three years. Conclusions: From the
comparison of three years, the condition decreased in 2017, while met a
higher increase in 2018. This may relative to the launch of medical
reform in 2017. Chinese hospitals still need to investigate the HACs,
give adaptable emphasis and concern to improve, and promote the overall
level of medical management.
