Healthcare-associated infections in the first four years of a pediatric surgical intensive care unit
There is limited data on HAI rates in PSICUs, and this study showed that infection rates in the PSICU were not higher than in pediatric intensive care units and neonatal intensive care units. The incidence of HAIs in this study was not higher than reports from other PSICUs in developing countries like Mexico, Brazil, and Egypt; but was higher compared to the rates reported in developed countries such as the US.
