Impact of Clinical Factors on Nosocomial Infections and Bacterial Resistance in Resuscitation Settings in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire: Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Nosocomial infections (NIs) are a key indicator of healthcare quality. This study aimed to identify the main determinants of NIs in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Yopougon University Hospital, providing updated local data to improve care quality and guide prevention strategies. Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive, and analytical cross-sectional study conducted over 11 months in the ICU. Results: We recorded 55 NIs, representing 17.52% of ICU admissions. The male-to-female ratio was 1.80, with an average age of 42.00 ± 20.29 years. Hypertension (28.34%) and diabetes (8.92%) were the most common comorbidities. The leading causes for admission were consciousness disorders (18.47%), stroke (16.88%), and polytrauma (15.29%). Common invasive procedures included urinary catheter insertion (61.78%), mechanical ventilation (35.99%), venous catheter insertion (13.38%), and external ventricular drain (EVD) insertion (5.73%). Germs were identified in 17 cases (5.41% of NIs), with Klebsiella (29.41%), Pseudomonas (35.29%), and Escherichia coli (17.65%) being the most common. Other germs included Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter spp. and Enterobacter spp. Antibacterial resistance was found in 64.70% of isolates. Factors independently associated with NIs were recent surgery (excluding immediate postoperative), obesity, EVD insertion, anemia, and prolonged hospitalization. Patients with hemodynamic instability or from the surgery department were less likely to develop NIs. Conclusion: This study highlights risk factors such as comorbidities, invasive procedures, and bacterial resistance, emphasizing the need to strengthen hospital infrastructure, adopt prevention policies, and research antibiotic resistance. It stresses managing comorbidities, adhering to aseptic protocols, and involving the public in prevention efforts.
