Adherence of staphylococcus aureus to catheter tubing inhibition by quaternary ammonium compounds.

The Pan African medical journal
INTRODUCTION: is a Gram positive bacterium which is responsible for a wide range of infections. This pathogen has also the ability to adhere to biotic or abiotic surface such as central venous catheter (CVC) and to produce a biofilm. The aim of this...

Natural Language Processing for Real-Time Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection Surveillance: Results of a Pilot Implementation Trial.

Infection control and hospital epidemiology
BACKGROUND: Incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a quality benchmark. To streamline conventional detection methods, an electronic surveillance system augmented with natural language processing (NLP), which gathers data ...

CLABpredICU---AI-driven risk prediction for CLABSI in intensive care units based on clinical and biochemical parameters.

American journal of infection control
BACKGROUND: Central line--associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are major causes of morbidity and mortality in intensive care units. This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence-driven predictive model for CLABSI within 2 calendar days...

Knowledge Discovery With Machine Learning for Hospital-Acquired Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections.

Computers, informatics, nursing : CIN
Massive generation of health-related data has been key in enabling the big data science initiative to gain new insights in healthcare. Nursing can benefit from this era of big data science, as there is a growing need for new discoveries from large qu...

Finding 'Evidence of Absence' in Medical Notes: Using NLP for Clinical Inferencing.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Extracting evidence of the absence of a target of interest from medical text can be useful in clinical inferencing. The purpose of our study was to develop a natural language processing (NLP) pipelineto identify the presence of indwelling urinary cat...
