“…Some studies reported that longer duration of HD was a risk factor associated with nosocomial infections [16][17][18][19], while a positive correlation was determined between HABSI and diabetes, number of HD sessions, and length of hospital stay [12]. Risk for a HABSI increased significantly with HbA1c levels above 7% [12].…”

“…Risk for a HABSI increased significantly with HbA1c levels above 7% [12]. There were studies which showed a significant relationship between nosocomial infections and age of patients [15,16,18], with HBV infections being more common in relatively younger individuals (mean age: 39.2 ± 14.6 years), while there was a strong relationship between HCV infections and relatively older age group (mean age: 55 ± 12 years) [16,18]. A positive history and number of blood transfusions were both https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0234376.t002…”
