Risk Factors for Developing Community-Acquired Hand Infections at a Large-Volume Urban Safety Net Hospital
There are clear risk factors at play for hand infection incidence. We found that housing status, employment, race, gender, and age were some of the most important contributors for incidence. This information can assist clinicians and public officials in developing more specific screening algorithms and prevention tools to reduce systematic burden. Further studies are required to elucidate specific etiologies associated with hand infection risk.
