Impact of COVID-19 isolation measures on ICU microbial resistance dynamics: simulation-based statistical modeling analysis.

Antimicrobial resistance and infection control
BACKGROUND: The transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in intensive care units (ICUs) poses a significant challenge to infection control and patient safety. While direct patient-to-patient transmission is well documented, the relative contribu...

Explainable AI for infection prevention and control: modeling CPE acquisition and patient outcomes in an Irish hospital with transformers.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriace (CPE) poses a critical concern for infection prevention and control in hospitals. However, predictive modeling of previously highlighted CPE-associated risks such as readmission, mortality, and ext...

Micro- and Nano-Bots for Infection Control.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Medical micro- and nano-bots (MMBs and MNBs) have attracted a lot of attention owing to their precise motion for accessing difficult-to-reach areas in the body. These emerging tools offer the promise of non-invasive diagnostics and therapeutics for a...

Artificial intelligence in hospital infection prevention: an integrative review.

Frontiers in public health
BACKGROUND: Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) represent a persistent challenge in healthcare, contributing to substantial morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers promising potential for improving HAIs preventi...

Leveraging AI-driven nudge theory to enhance hand hygiene compliance: paving the path for future infection control.

Frontiers in public health
Hand hygiene is critical for preventing infections, yet maintaining compliance remains challenging across healthcare, schools, and communities. Despite strong evidence, lapses occur due to cognitive barriers, understaffing, limited resources, and ant...

Promoting hand hygiene in a chemotherapy day center: the role of a robot.

Antimicrobial resistance and infection control
BACKGROUND: Hand hygiene is a critical component of infection prevention in healthcare settings. Innovative strategies are required to enhance hand hygiene practices among patients and healthcare workers (HCWs).

Integration of an electronic hand hygiene auditing system with electronic health records using machine learning to predict hospital-acquired infection in a health care setting.

American journal of infection control
BACKGROUND: Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) increase morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Effective hand hygiene (HH) is crucial for prevention, but achieving high compliance remains challenge. This study explores using machine learning t...

Harnessing computational tools of the digital era for enhanced infection control.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
This paper explores the potential of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics in revolutionizing infection control. It addresses the challenges and innovative approaches in combating infectious diseases and antimicrobial resi...

Navigating the future: machine learning's role in revolutionizing antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention and control.

Current opinion in infectious diseases
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review examines the current state and future prospects of machine learning (ML) in infection prevention and control (IPC) and antimicrobial stewardship (ASP), highlighting its potential to transform healthcare practices by enh...
