These infections include intravascular catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), and catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). This study aimed to evaluate the factors associated with invasive device-associated nosocomial infections based on the underlying diseases of the patients and antibiotic resistance profiles of the pathogens causing the infections detected in the ICU in our hospital over a five-year period.\nMethodology: Invasive device-associated infections (CRBSI, VAP, and CAUTI) were detected retrospectively by the laboratory- and clinic-based active surveillance system according to the criteria of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in patients hospitalized in the ICU of the tertiary hospital between 1 January 2018 and 30 June 2023.\nResults: A total of 425 invasive device-associated nosocomial infections and 441 culture results were detected (179 CRBSI, 176 VAP, 70 CAUTI). Out of them, 57 (13.4%) patients had hematological malignancy, 145 (34.1%) had solid organ malignancy, and 223 (52.5%) had no histopathologic diagnosis of any malignancy. An increase in extended-spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenem resistance in pathogens was detected during the study period.\nConclusions: Antibiotic resistance of the Gram-negative bacteria associated with invasive device-associated infections increased during the study period. Antimicrobial stewardship will reduce rates of nosocomial infections, reduce mortality, and shorten hospital stay. Long-term catheterization and unnecessary antibiotic use should be avoided.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3855\/jidc.19426","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,10]],"date-time":"2024-07-10T17:25:25Z","timestamp":1720632325000},"page":"937-942","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Six-year evaluation of device-associated nosocomial infections in intensive care units"],"prefix":"10.3855","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6810-2199","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Duygu","family":"Mert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9525-0122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Burcu","family":"\u00c7al\u0131\u015fkan Demirk\u0131ran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7619-1366","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"G\u00fcl\u015fen","family":"\u0130skender","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zuhal","family":"Av\u015far","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arif","family":"Timuro\u011flu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Song\u00fcl","family":"Binay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tu\u011fba","family":"A\u015fk\u0131n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9397-8432","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mustafa","family":"Ertek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2222","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,30]]},"container-title":["The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/jidc.org\/index.php\/journal\/article\/download\/19426\/3376","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/jidc.org\/index.php\/journal\/article\/download\/19426\/3376","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,10]],"date-time":"2024-07-10T17:25:28Z","timestamp":1720632328000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/jidc.org\/index.php\/journal\/article\/view\/19426"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"06","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,30]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3855\/jidc.19426","relation":{},"ISSN":["1972-2680"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1972-2680","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,30]]}}}
