Health Care-Associated Clostridium difficile Infection in Canada: Patient Age and Infecting Strain Type Are Highly Predictive of Severe Outcome and Mortality
Mark A. Miller,Denise Gravel,Michael R. Mulvey,Geoffrey Taylor,David A. Boyd,Andrew E. Simor,Michael Gardam,Allison McGeer,James Hutchinson,Dorothy Moore,Sharon Kelly +10 more
TL;DR: The study confirms the strong age association with infection due to the NAP1 strain and severe CDI, and patients 60-90 years of age are approximately twice as likely to die or to experience a severeCDI-related outcome, compared with those with non-NAP1 infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health Care-Associated Clostridium difficile Infection in Adults Admitted to Acute Care Hospitals in Canada: A Canadian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Program Study
Denise Gravel,Mark A. Miller,Andrew E. Simor,Geoffrey Taylor,Michael Gardam,Allison McGeer,James Hutchinson,Dorothy Moore,Sharon Kelly,David A. Boyd,Michael R. Mulvey +10 more
TL;DR: The incidence and attributable mortality of Clostridium difficile infection in Canada is remarkably similar to those found in a previous study, although there are wide variations in HA CDI among the participating hospitals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Per Capita Antibiotic Consumption: How Does a North American Jurisdiction Compare with Europe?
David M. Patrick,Fawziah Marra,James Hutchinson,Dominique L. Monnet,Helen Ng,William R. Bowie +5 more
TL;DR: Although antibiotic consumption in British Columbia was less than the European median in 2000, it exceeded that in northern European countries with established antibiotic surveillance and control programs and may increase the risk for emergence of antimicrobial-resistant organisms inBritish Columbia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infection control practices related to Clostridium difficile infection in acute care hospitals in Canada.
Denise Gravel,Michael Gardam,Geoffrey Taylor,Mark A. Miller,Andrew E. Simor,Allison McGeer,James Hutchinson,Dorothy Moore,Sharon Kelly,Michael R. Mulvey +9 more
TL;DR: Although the hospitals used contact precautions quite uniformly, considerable variation was seen among hospitals in terms of testing strategies, cleaning and disinfection protocols and products, and isolation practices.
