Abstract:
Objective of the Study:
To investigate the factors and conditions that contribute to the spread of
hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) in medical facilities with a surgical profile.
Materials and Methods:
The research was conducted in the surgical departments of hospitals in
Tashkent. The study materials included statistical data and reports on hospital
acquired infections collected between 2012-2023 from the Sanitary
Epidemiological Welfare and Public Health Service of the Republic and
Tashkent city. Epidemiological and statistical research methods were used.
Results:
The epidemiological analysis of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) identified
38 different nosological forms, ranging from mild skin and subcutaneous tissue
infections to severe septic forms. Over 50% of these were postoperative
wound infections, known as surgical site infections (SSIs).
Conclusion:
Among hospital infections in surgical hospitals, purulent-septic infections
(PSIs) are the most prevalent, accounting for 84%. Of these, surgical site
infections (SSIs) make up 51%, other hospital-acquired purulent-septic
infections constitute 33%, acute respiratory viral infections account for 15%,
and acute intestinal infections represent 1%.
