Infection Risk Lurks in Hospital ICUs


June 7, 2011 -- Even health care systems with a sterling reputation aren’t immune to a potentially deadly type of hospital-acquired infection, Consumer Reports Health says in a new report.

An analysis of U.S. health care systems that have at least five hospitals indicates that many hospitals have high rates of central-line associated bloodstream infections in their intensive care units. Some hospitals don’t even reveal the infection rates, a new investigation indicates.

This type of infection, also known by the acronym CLABSI (central line-associated bloodstream infection), kills up to 25% of patients who get it. It is among the most deadly types of hospital-acquired infection, says Consumer Reports Health, which included more than 1,500 hospitals in its study.

The infection involves a central line catheter or tube that doctors place in a large vein to enable the rapid administration of fluids, blood, or medications to patients.

The hospital data included in the report came from one of 18 states that publicly report hospital infection rates or from The Leapfrog Group, a nonprofit organization focusing on improving health care in hospitals.

Many Teaching Hospitals Near Bottom of List Consumer Reports Health reviewed information and ranked teaching hospitals that are members of the Council of Teaching Hospitals on central line-related infections for the second straight year.

It found that, compared to 2010, there had been no improvement in the number of these hospitals that reported zero infections.

“Most of us think of teaching hospitals as setting the standard for the right way to do things, so it’s surprising to see so many teaching hospitals near the bottom of the list,” John Santa, MD, MPH, and director of the Consumer Reports Health Ratings Center, says in a news release. “We are also concerned about the large number of hospitals that choose not to share their data.”

In the latest ratings, two hospitals, or only 1%, reported having zero bloodstream infections, compared to four hospitals, or 2%, last year.

Consumer Reports Health says three teaching hospitals received its lowest rating for preventing bloodstream infections - Saint Louis University Hospital in Missouri, Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y., and Regional Medical Center in Memphis.

Eliminating Central Line Infections Santa says that eliminating bloodstream infections should be the goal of every hospital, whether it’s an academic or teaching institution or a community facility.

“The process is simple, low-tech, and low cost, but it does require a commitment from the top down to affect a significant change in the hospital culture,” Santa says.

According to the analysis of all U.S. hospitals rated for central-line infection rates, only 142 or 12.7% reported having zero central-line bloodstream infections in patients. Those figures reflect a modest improvement from the first such study, when 105 hospitals, or 11% of them, reported having no patients with central line-related bloodstream infections.

“There’s a tendency to think of the large urban hospitals as being the best in terms of delivering patient care and safety, but the top performers include many community hospitals that tend to be on the smaller side,” Santa says.
