Analysis of Hospital-Acquired Infections in a Chinese Specialized Rehabilitation Hospital: A Five-Year Surveillance Study (2020-2024)
The study highlights the critical role of tracheal intubation and glucocorticoid use in HAI development within rehabilitation settings. The significant ward-level variability in infection rates suggests the need for tailored infection control strategies. Implementation of targeted interventions focusing on these identified risk factors could help reduce HAI incidence in rehabilitation hospitals.
