Objective. To study the level and structure of the incidence of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) Staphylococcus-induced infections in the Russian Federation in 2018–2021.
Subjects and methods. For the in-depth epidemiological analysis of the incidence of HCAIs, the analyzed the data of the statistical forms developed by the HCAI Monitoring Reference Center, Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being, along with data of Section 3 «Nosocomial Infections» of Form 2 the data of the statistical forms developed by the the Reference Center for HCAI Monitoring, Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being, the Reference Center for HCAI Monitoring, Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being, which in addition to the data of Section 3 «Nosocomial Infections» of the Federal Statistical Observation «Information on Infectious and Parasitic Diseases». The incidence rates were calculated as the relative frequency of Staphylococcus-induced HCAI cases per 1,000 inpatients. The data on nosocomial bloodstream infections were compared with the open data available on the resource https://amrmap.ru/.
Results. In 2018–2021, there was a downward trend in the incidence of Staphylococcus-induced HCAIs in the Russian Federation. The average long-term rate of decline was 21.2%. During the analyzed period, there were registered 9468 Staphylococcus-induced HCAI cases. The average incidence rate over 4 years was 0.12 per 1,000 inpatients. Surgical site infections occupied the first place in the structure of the forms of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus HCAIs among the registered cases, outside the pandemic caused by the spread of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. In 2020, lower respiratory tract infections held the lead. The official data provided by the territorial bodies of the Federal Service for Supervison of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being, showed that the absolute number of nosocomial bloodstream infections were lower than their real number in 2018–2020.
Conclusion. Despite the downward trend in the incidence of HCAI caused by Staphylococci, these microorganisms remain in the first place in the etiological structure of HCAIs among the bacterial pathogens. The official data on the incidence may differ significantly from the true number of HCAI cases, which requires regular epidemiological studies and the conditons to be created to optimize the recording of nosocomial infections.
