THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NON-SURGICAL INVASIVE MEASURES AND THE DISCOVERY OF MULTIDRUG RESISTANT ORGANISM INFECTIONS IN HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS AT RSUD BANTEN

Abstract

Multidrug Resistant Organism (MDRO) infections have increased significantly worldwide, which can result in increased morbidity, mortality, and cause outbreaks that decrease hospital performance. Adhesion-colonization of MDROs can occur on non-surgical invasive equipment, which inpatients are usually given. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between non-surgical invasive measures and the discovery of MDRO infections in inpatients at RSUD Banten. This study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The research data used were medical record data of inpatients who had microbiological culture examination results at the RSUD Banten’s laboratory in the period January 2023-December 2023. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling with a sample size of 162 patients and used the chi square test in the form of univariate and bivariate analysis. There was a significant association (p=0.009) between non-surgical invasive measures and the discovery of MDRO infection in hospitalized patients at RSUD Banten (OR 2.580; 95% IC 1.246-5.341). Hospitalized patients who undergo non-surgical invasive measures have a higher risk of 2.580 times to be identified with MDRO infection, compared to hospitalized patients who do not undergo non-surgical invasive measures.
