Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is found that the establishment of intensive infection surveillance and control programs was strongly associated with reductions in rates of nosocomial urinary tract infection, surgical wound infection, pneumonia, and bacteremia between 1970 and 1975-1976, after controlling for other characteristics of the hospitals and their patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nationwide nosocomial infection rate. A new need for vital statistics.
TL;DR: If adjustments are made for the accuracy of the diagnostic method, the increasing nationwide secular trend, and the number of nosocomial infections in nursing homes, however, as many as 4 million nosocomIAL infections per year may now be occurring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying patients at high risk of surgical wound infection a simple multivariate index of patient susceptibility and wound contamination
Robert W. Haley,David H. Culver,W. Meade Morgan,John W. White,T.Grace Emori,Thomas M. Hooton +5 more
TL;DR: The authors used information collected on 58,498 patients undergoing operations in 1970 to develop a simple multivariate risk index and found that a subgroup, consisting of half the surgical patients, can be identified in whom 90% of the surgical wound infections will develop.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Dallas Heart Study provides a phenotypically well-characterized probability sample for multidisciplinary research that will be used to improve the mechanistic understanding and prevention of cardiovascular disease, especially in black Americans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nosocomial infections in U.S. hospitals, 1975–1976: Estimated frequency by selected characteristics of patients☆
Robert W. Haley,Thomas M. Hooton,David H. Culver,Richie C. Stanley,T.Grace Emori,C. David Hardison,Dana Quade,Richard H. Shachtman,Dennis R. Schaberg,Babubhai V. Shah,Gary D. Schatz +10 more
TL;DR: To obtain estimates of the frequency of nosocomial infections nationwide, those occurring at the four major sites--urinary tract, surgical wound, lower respiratory tract and bloodstream--were diagnosed in a stratified random sample of 169,526 adult, general medical and surgical patients selected from 338 hospitals representative of the "mainstream" of U.S. hospitals.
