patients admitted to the AICU, 30.5% died, 69.0% were transferred to another unit, and 0.5% were discharged. Conclusion The findings showed high compliance of AST at admission but low compliance at discharge, which needs further enforcement. Although the acquisition of CRKP was only 3.4%, it represents adding almost double (1.8) new cases of CRKP to the admission level. Future research is required to assess the impact of AST on the burden of healthcare-associated infections.
