It has been estimated that in developed countries up to 10% of hospitalized patients develop infections every year. The risk of healthcareassociated infections (HAI) in developing countries is 2 20 times higher than in developed countries1 and it has been estimated that more than 40% of these infections are preventable.2 Reducing HAI infection is now considered to be an integral part of patient...

متن کاملOptimal control of epidemics with limited resources.
We extend the existing work on the time-optimal control of the basic SIR epidemic model with mass action contact rate. Previous results have focused on minimizing an objective function that is a linear combination of the cost associated with using control and either the outbreak size or the infectious burden. We instead, provide analytic solutions for the control that minimizes the outbreak siz...
متن کاملDevice-associated nosocomial infections in limited-resources countries: findings of the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC).
NEED The rates of health care-associated infections (HAIs) and bacterial resistance in developing countries are 3 to 5 times higher than international standards. HAIs increase length of stay (10 days), costs (US $5000 to US $12,000), and mortality (by a factor of 2 to 3). ORGANIZATION The International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC), founded in 1998, is the only source of agg...
