HTAThe measurement and monitoring of surgical adverse events NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme was set up in 1993 to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS.Initially, six HTA panels (pharmaceuticals, acute sector, primary and community care, diagnostics and imaging, population screening, methodology) helped to set the research priorities for the HTA Programme. However, during the past few years there have been a number of changes in and around NHS R&D, such as the establishment of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the creation of three new research programmes: Service Delivery and Organisation (SDO); New and Emerging Applications of Technology (NEAT); and the Methodology Programme.Although the National Coordinating Centre for Health Technology Assessment (NCCHTA) commissions research on behalf of the Methodology Programme, it is the Methodology Group that now considers and advises the Methodology Programme Director on the best research projects to pursue.The research reported in this monograph was funded as project number 97/16/04.The views expressed in this publication are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the Methodology Programme, HTA Programme or the Department of Health. The editors wish to emphasise that funding and publication of this research by the NHS should not be taken as implicit supp...

“…Nosocomial or hospital‐acquired infections have been extensively investigated in industrialised countries, particularly in the United States (1, 2), where such infections cost billions of dollars and result in thousands of deaths each year (3). Very few reports from developing countries have been published (4–10), and only isolated and preliminary studies from the Middle East (6–10). According to the WHO (11), the highest frequencies of nosocomial infections occur in the Eastern Mediterranean and South‐East Asia.…”

Patients admitted during a 6-month period to a maternity hospital in Saudi Arabia were studied for nosocomial infections and misuse of antibiotics. Patient history and diagnosis on admission and subsequent clinical and laboratory data were analysed. Infection developing from 72 h after admission was considered nosocomial. Therapeutic and prophylactic data as recorded on the patients' charts were assessed for possible misuse of antibiotics. Of 3439 patients, 136 (4.0%) developed nosocomial infection: 2.0%, 8.9% and 37.7% in obstetric, gynaecologic and nursery patients, respectively. Infections among adults were mostly found in the urinary (44.4%) and lower genital (33.3%) tracts. Among newborns, over 70% of cases were eye and ear (29.8%), skin (26.2%) and blood (19.0%) infections. Gram-negative bacteria caused 65.7% of the infections. Over 90% of the bacterial isolates were multidrug-resistant. About 24% of patients received single or multiple antibiotics; 57.2% were misused. The minimal hospital cost estimate for both nosocomial infections and misused antibiotics was US $318,705. The findings of this study, the first of its type in this region, should prompt improved infection control measures as well as educational and antibiotic restriction interventions.

“…In der Literatur wurde häufig beschrieben, dass die passive Surveillance durch das Stations-oder Abteilungspersonal zu mangelnder Sensitivität der Diagnostik von NI führte [23,24,25]. Personal des ambulanten OP-Zentrums selbst kann bei Beachtung der im Anhang aufgeführten Definitionen nosokomialer Infektionen die Surveillance durchführen, es ist aber in der Regel subjektiver und mehr klinisch und weniger epidemiologisch geprägt.…”
