| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project utilized data from all surgical site infection cases in the Japan Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (JANIS) system and applied adjustments for patient severity more appropriately than previous methods in order to predict the occurrence of surgical site infections according to disease. A model to calculate standardized infection ratios was developed to enable hospital-level performance assessments.
Furthermore, JANIS data and Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) claims data were collected from participating hospitals, and additional analyses were conducted. These included the following: (1) Identification of the risk factors of surgical site infections, (2) Elucidation of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of safety-engineered devices, and (3) Estimation of the additional healthcare costs due to multidrug-resistant bacterial infections (penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).
