Abstract
Aim. To develop an algorithm for a comprehensive assessment of endogenous and exogenous factors and risks of urinary tract infections (UTI) to improve prevention measures in multidisciplinary healthcare organizations.
Materials and methods. All patients included in the study were divided into two groups. Group 1 was formed on the basis of the Altai Regional Hospital for War Veterans (700 medical histories). Regional Clinical Hospital provided 500 medical histories. Endogenous and exogenous risk factors were assessed in patients included in the study.
Results. Following a comprehensive assessment of exogenous and endogenous risk factors of healthcare-associated UTI among patients of different ages, an algorithm for improving prevention measures has been developed.
Conclusions. The algorithm of prevention measures for expert evaluation of risk factors and groups of healthcare-associated UTI enables the prevention of these infections to be improved. The creation of databases of risk factors that contribute to infection is essential for providing expert evaluation of standard operating procedures and internal quality audits of medical activities, as well as for determining the optimal prevention measures reducing the incidence of UTIs.
