Burden of Healthcare-Associated Infections and Antimicrobial Resistance in a Romanian Cardiovascular and Transplant Center: Factors Associated with Mortality
Although the prevalence of HAIs in our study was low, the cases that occurred in cardiovascular and transplant patients were often severe, frequently involved multidrug-resistant organisms, and were associated with high mortality. Strengthening infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship is essential to reduce the impact of HAIs in this vulnerable population.
