A doctoral thesis at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Murcia Maria Encarnacion Hernandez Contreras highlights the importance of clinician intervention to combat bacterial infections that are contracted in hospitals.
This research, which has been rated as outstanding cum laude, concludes that "monitoring by the clinician in infections is the only active factor with protective character in relation to good patient outcomes."
For the realization of the thesis, the author analyzed a sample of 324 cases of patients who contracted bacterial infection in a teaching hospital between July 2010 and December 2011.
The findings suggest that the incidence of bacteremia was 9.4 per thousand patients admitted, predominantly men, accounting for 58.8 percent, and an average age of 63 years.
The thesis was supervised by professors from the University of Murcia Elisa Garcia and Joaquin Gomez Vazquez Gomez.
