Clinical Infection Control Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies hospital infections and how antibiotics are used across multiple hospitals.
AboutAbout the lab
Investigating hospital infection control and appropriate antibiotic use
The Clinical Infection Control Lab studies infections that occur in hospitals, along with infection control measures and the use of antibiotics.
The lab's website is published as the website of the Central Infection Control Unit, Nagoya University Hospital.
Lecturer Hiroshi Morioka studied healthcare-associated infections and how antimicrobials are used, through a cross-sectional epidemiological study of inpatients at many hospitals in Aichi Prefecture.
Comparing 2021 and 2023, the number of days of administration of antibiotics active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa fell by about 8–9%, both at hospitals that took part in the survey and at those that did not.
Professor Tetsuya Yagi led research groups on infection control in healthcare facilities and on infection control of drug-resistant bacteria through regional collaboration, and compiled a handbook on hospital infection control and a guide to countermeasures against drug-resistant bacteria.
Key terms
- Cross-sectional epidemiological study
- A research method that examines the target patients all at once at a single point in time to capture the actual state of a disease and its treatment
- Healthcare-associated infection
- An infection acquired while receiving medical care, such as during hospitalization. Examples include pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and surgical site infection
- Antimicrobial stewardship (appropriate antibiotic use)
- An effort to give antibiotics to patients who need them, using the appropriate type and duration
ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducted research that uses large-scale data from regional hospitals to find clues for preventing infections that occur within hospitals and for using antibiotics appropriately (Lecturer Morioka, FY2020–2024). Surveys at many hospitals in Aichi Prefecture suggested that infection control and appropriate antibiotic use require approaches suited to the characteristics of each facility.
