Demographic data and infection diagnoses were collected. Nosocomial infection was defined as an infection that was absent during preadmission assessments but detected at least 48\u2003h after admission to the hospital, or occurred after surgical procedures performed within the hospital.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> The cumulative incidence of nosocomial infections over a 6\u2010year period was 0.28%. The most common infections were acute conjunctivitis (45.5%) and upper respiratory tract infection (36.4%), followed by suppurative endophthalmitis (8.3%). Patients with acute conjunctivitis were predominantly adults aged from 15 to 59\u2003years (60%), while patients with upper respiratory tract infection were predominantly children of 14\u2003years or younger (74.0%), and those with endophthalmitis predominantly older persons 60\u2003years or older (68.2%). Conditional pathogenic bacteria, mainly gram\u2010positive, were responsible for most suppurative endophthalmitis cases.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Although nosocomial infection incidence is relatively low in this eye hospital, our data suggest that different subgroups of patients are prone to certain types of infection. Specific preventive strategies targeting different subgroups of inpatients may further reduce the infection incidence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1442-9071.2006.01303.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,9]],"date-time":"2006-08-09T10:30:48Z","timestamp":1155119448000},"page":"650-653","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Nosocomial infection in an eye hospital: incidence and occurrence patterns"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Zhenfang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuying","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuzhen","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nuo","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaofeng","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ayong","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajic.2004.10.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","first-page":"334","article-title":"Perioperative nosocomial infections: an analysis of 322 cases","volume":"13","author":"Zeng J","year":"2003","journal-title":"Chin J Nosocomiol"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","first-page":"1285","volume-title":"Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Control","author":"Gaynes RP","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","first-page":"490","article-title":"Nosocomial ocular infection \u2013 a prospective study","volume":"101","author":"Das A","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Indian Med Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1167\/iovs.05-0216"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Nosocomial postoperative endophthalmitis: a 14\u2010year review","volume":"14","author":"Wu PC","year":"2005","journal-title":"Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(93)31623-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajic.2004.06.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.42.6.2777-2779.2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.inf.0000168742.98617.66"}],"container-title":["Clinical &amp; Experimental Ophthalmology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1442-9071.2006.01303.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1442-9071.2006.01303.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,10]],"date-time":"2023-10-10T04:42:47Z","timestamp":1696912967000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1442-9071.2006.01303.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,9]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2006,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1442-9071.2006.01303.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1442-9071.2006.01303.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1442-6404","1442-9071"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1442-6404","type":"print"},{"value":"1442-9071","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,9]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2006-08-09","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
