| Research Abstract |
This study aimed at developing a proactive multicenter monitoring systems for using the Japan/EPINet developed by the working group of research group occupational infection control and prevention (JESWG in JRGOICP) for preventing exposures to blood-borne pathogens through needle stick and sharps injury (NSIs). A total 76 facilities were participated in the network using as a common reporting format version Japan-EPINet. Database of NSIs (n=51,000, 1996-2011) in past 15 years was created. The changes of characteristics NSIs in Japan in fifteen-year suggested that recognition of the risks of NSIs was vital for promoting the effective use of safety-engineered needle/sharp devices and point-of-use disposal containers because the rate of hepatitis C antibody positive cases among voluntary reported NSIs. The creation of the nation-wide surveillance network was effective for monitoring and evaluating NSIs and for focusing on implementation of effective countermeasures
