Risk Factors for Health Care–Associated Bloodstream Infections in NICUs
In this cohort study of 6410 neonates admitted to 3 NICUs in Pune, India, the risk of health care-associated BSIs was associated with the presence of indwelling devices and prior antibiotic exposure. Future efforts should focus on mitigating the risks associated with indwelling devices and strengthening infection prevention and control and antimicrobial stewardship programs to prevent health care-associated infections.
