The inpatient module

Data collection for inpatient departments includes gathering detailed data for hospitalized inpatients at 8 o’clock on the day of the PPS whereby detailed data is collected for those patients receiving an antimicrobial treatment. 

Essential data to collect are:

  • the patients’ age and gender
  • antimicrobial agent
  • dose per administration
  • number of doses per day
  • route of administration

Besides antibiotics, antifungals, antimycotics, antivirals, antibiotics for the treatment of tuberculosis and antimalarials are also surveyed. 

Other mandatory variables include:

  • the anatomical site of infection or prophylaxis according to a list of provided reasons for treatment or prophylaxis, 
  • indication for therapy (community versus hospital acquired infection or prophylaxis) and
  • whether the treatment choice is determined by detected micro-organisms and available microbiological or biomarker data. 

For the optional HAI module, extra details on invasive devices are collected (e.g. peripheral vascular catheter, indwelling urinary catheter etc.).

Les données du dénominateur sont le nombre de patients admis et le nombre de lits dans chaque service.
