Abstract

Over the last decade, healthcare associated infections (HAI) have been increasingly alarming as a public health problem even in developed and industrialized countries. These infections have a specific epidemiological aspect in hospitals with different medical profiles. This study demonstrates the acquisition of septic-purulent nosocomial infections in the hospital with cardiosurgical profile depending on the basic diagnosis. It has been shown that the incidence of post-cardiosurgical septic-purulent infections is higher in emergency patients, most post-cardiosurgical septic-purulent infections are recorded in patients undergoing bypass, bypass plus one prosthesis plus one plasty, bypass plus one prosthesis plus two plasties, bypass plus one plasty, bypass plus two prostheses plus one plasty, having the diagnosis of cardiopathy, dissecting aneurism (Marfan syndrome), defect of aortic / mitral/ tricuspid valve, endocarditis, cardiopathy.

Keywords: septic-purulent infections, epidemiological surveillance, epidemic process, risk factors, cardiac diseases.

Introduction

Healthcare associated infections (HAI) are a public health problem even in developed and industrialized countries. Of the 10% of the European population hospitalized each year, 5% of them (3.8% - general departments, 15.3% - in the intensive care units (ICU) departments) acquire at least one nosocomial infection. One million seven hundred fifty thousand hospitalized patients are affected annually in Europe through HAI, the mortality rate reaches 175,000 deaths each year [1].

Studies in the USA indicate that nosocomial infections amount to approximately two million, with deaths of 90,000 per year [2]. Health associated infections are complications due to hospitalization and lead to increased morbidity and mortality [3], [4], [5]. These infections prolong hospitalization, require much more extensive diagnosis and treatment, and are associated with additional costs [5], [6], [7]. Numerous published studies describe the risk factors in surgical site infection, especially for sternal infection / deep wound infection. A meta-analysis by a number of Italian researchers to improve the management of infections in cardiac surgery units has highlighted a number of risk factors associated with deep wound infections and surgical risk factors (surgery, duration of operation, emergency mode [8], [9], [10].

The full economic impact due to the morbidity through post-cardiosurgical septic-purulent infections in the period of study 2010 - 2013 in the Republic of Moldova totals MDL 53,111,959.61. Costs incurred as a result of septic-purulent nosocomial cardio-surgical infections have a negative impact, requiring urgent prophylaxis, changing the surveillance and control system of these infections to optimize expenditure and reduce the negative impact on public health [11].

Risk factors for patients with wound infection associated with cardiac surgery were the urgent surgery (18.1%) and the surgical method (procedure), which included operation on the valve defect (14.7%), coronary surgery (65.8%), combined surgery (14.1%), other heart surgery (5.4%) [12]. In the Republic of Moldova epidemiological studies on morbidity through post-cardiosurgical septic-purulent infections based on basic diagnosis have not been performed.

Material and methods

The study was conducted at the Republican Clinical Hospital "Timofei Mosneaga" during the period of 2010-2013, it includes the active identification of the septic-purulent infections through the research of 1332 records of the hospitalized patients in the Cardiac Surgery of Acquired Defects Department. The recommended case definitions for nosocomial infections with criteria for each location are those set out in the Nosocomial Infection Guidelines, edition II, 2009 [13], and the Guidelines for Surveillance, Prevention and Control of Nosocomial Infections in SCJUPBT in 2016 [14]. The frequency indexes of cardiovascular septic-purulent infections morbidity in 1,000 patients hospitalized or treated.

Results

Of the 418 cases with septic-purulent infections actively detected by the examination of the patient records during the years 2010 - 2013 in the Department of Cardiac Surgery of Acquired Defects, 403 patients or 96.41% were scheduled for surgery, 15 or 3.59% were operated on urgent basis (Table 1, Figure 1).

Throughout the period of the study, patients with cardiopathy and valvulopathy were found to be 79 - 88% in different years.

Another situation occurs when calculating the incidence through septic-purulent infections based on basic diagnosis. The highest incidence, 533.33 per 1000 operated patients is highlighted in patients with dissecting aneurism (Marfan syndrome), followed by defect of aortic/mitral/tricuspid valve with 500.0‰, then other diagnoses - 400.0‰, endocarditis - 392.86‰, cardiopathy - 391.98‰, valvulopathy - 279.68‰, myxoma - 266.67‰, rheumatism - 227.27‰ and pericarditis – 200.0‰ (Figure 6).

Fig. 6 – Incidence of post-cardiosurgical septic-purulent infections based on basic diagnosis (‰)

In 2010, the highest incidence of septic-purulent infections based on basic diagnosis was 449.1‰ in patients with cardiopathy, followed by patients with dissecting aneurism (Marfan syndrome) - 400.0‰, those with defect of aortic/mitral/tricuspid valve - and endocarditis with 333.33%. This year, no septic-purulent infections was recorded in patients with pericarditis and other diagnoses.

In 2011, the highest incidence of septic-purulent infections based on basic diagnosis was recorded in patients with cardiopathy, accounting for 561.22‰, followed by patients with myxoma - 500.0‰ and patients with endocarditis - 333.33‰. This year, no cases were recorded in patients with pericarditis and dissecting aneurism (Marfan syndrome).

The highest incidence of septic-purulent infections in 2012 was in patients with other diagnoses - 1000.0 per 1000 operated patients, followed by patients with dissecting aneurism (Marfan syndrome) - 750.0‰, defect of aortic/mitral/tricuspid valve - 666, 67‰ and endocarditis - 571.43‰. This year, the lowest incidence occurred in patients with rheumatism - 125.0‰.

In 2013, patients with the basic diagnosis of defect of aortic/mitral/tricuspid valve - had the highest incidence of 1000‰, followed by patients with dissecting aneurism (Marfan syndrome) with 600.0‰, pericarditis - 500.0‰. This year, no SPNI was recorded in patients with myxoma and those with other diagnoses.

Discussion

The study conducted in the cardiac surgery profile demonstrates the increased incidence of morbidity through septic-purulent infections in emergency patients - which is 535.71‰ compared to those who are operated on a scheduled basis with the incidence of 347.11‰. Of the total of septic-purulent infections 32.3% are surgical wound infections, 22.73% are association related infections, 18.9% are nosocomial respiratory infections, 16.99% are cardiovascular infections, 4.78% are bone and joint infections. The riskiest basic diagnoses for the acquisition of post-cardiosurgical septic-purulent infections are: 449.1‰ cardiopathy, followed by patients with dissecting aneurism (Marfan syndrome) - 400.0‰, those with defect of aortic/mitral/tricuspid valve and endocarditis with 333,33‰, and the riskiest cardiac surgeries are: 22.73% in patients who underwent one bypass, 13.16% supported bypass plus one prosthesis plus one plasty, 12.44% - bypass plus one prosthesis plus two plasties, 85% - bypass plus one plasty, 8.61% - bypass plus two prostheses plus one plasty, 6.22% - bypass plus two plasties. The findings can help to improve the system of prophylaxis of post-cardiosurgical   septic-purulent infections.

Conclusion

  1. The incidence of post-cardiosurgical septic-purulent infections is higher in patients that underwent urgent surgeries than those patients who were operated on a scheduled basis.
  2. Most post-cardiosurgical septic-purulent infections are recorded in patients who underwent one bypass, bypass plus one prosthesis plus one plasty, bypass plus one prosthesis plus two plasties, bypass plus one plasty, bypass plus two prostheses plus one plasty.
  3. The highest incidence of post-cardiosurgical septic-purulent infections occurs in patients diagnosed with dissecting aneurism (Marfan syndrome), defect aortic/mitral/tricuspid valve, endocarditis, cardiopathy.
