Brief Summary
Observational 24-hr point prevalence study with longitudinal follow-up at 164 ICUs in Argentina. All adult patients (aged ≥18 years) at a participating ICU on November 24-28, 2023 with 60- day follow-up, were included. Epidemiological variables, sites of infection, isolated microorganisms, CPE colonisation, and hospital characteristics were collected. Main outcome measure was ICU mortality.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
prevalence of infection by MDRO
The main outcome measure was the prevalence of infection by MDRO.
All adult patients, 18 years and older, present on a participating ICU on the study day during the 24-h period (beginning at 8.00 a.m.) were included. The exact date could be selected from November 24-28, 2023.
Secondary Outcomes (3)
ICU mortality
28 days
prevalence of colonisation by MDRO
All adult patients, 18 years and older, present on a participating ICU on the study day during the 24-h period (beginning at 8.00 a.m.) were included. The exact date could be selected from November 24-28, 2023.
prevalence of infection in general
All adult patients, 18 years and older, present on a participating ICU on the study day during the 24-h period (beginning at 8.00 a.m.) were included. The exact date could be selected from November 24-28, 2023.
Study Arms (1)
A single cohort
It is a study with a single cohort.
Interventions
In that single cohort we will collect data on MDRO infection and colonization prevalence, clinical characteristics, infections, causative organisms and mortality.
Eligibility Criteria
The exact date could be selected from November 24-28, 2023, to ease logistics for individual sites. The patients present on day 1 in the ICU were available for inclusion in the cohort, which was then followed for mortality.
You may qualify if:
- All adult patients, 18 years and older, present on a participating ICU on the study day during the 24-h period (beginning at 8.00 a.m.) were included.
