Current models for predicting Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) recurrence rates have a limited capacity to account for important risk factors. This study developed a clinical prediction rule for CDI recurrence.

Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) increased nationally during the COVID-19 pandemic. We described CLABSIs at our institution during 2019–2022.

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated previously existing health care challenges related to hospital-acquired infections. Nursing students were deployed to augment staffing shortages and mitigate incidences of catheter-associated urinary tract infections

An estimated 30,100 central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) occur in intensive care units and wards of U.S. acute care facilities each year. April 2020 through June 2021, the hospital-wide CLABSI Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) was

The Association for Professionals in Infection Prevention and Epidemiology (APIC) Long-Term Care (LTC) Sub-Committee was formed to provide collaboration, education, and support to Infection Preventionists (IPs) working in LTC facilities. During 2020

Hand hygiene (HH) is the simplest, most effective act to prevent the spread of pathogens in health care. To achieve 100% HH compliance, access to current compliance rates and details of missed opportunities for timely interventions are integral

Aging infrastructure within a 100-year-old acute care hospital presents challenges that can often lead to an increase in leaks identified throughout the hospital in both clinical and non-clinical areas that increases the possibility of mold or other
