A case-control study to evaluate the mean extra stay and corresponding cost of neonates acquiring a hospital-acquired infection (HAI) was performed on all patients admitted to a neonatology unit and discharged alive in 1994.
Cases were identified from medical records.
Controls were matched to cases for birthweight, gestational age, mode of admission to the unit, previous stay in an intensive care unit and presence of a central venous catheter.
Costs were taken as those of the extra days attributable to HAI, i.e. the mean difference in the length of stay between cases and controls.
Among a cohort of 616 neonates, 34 (5.5%) had one or more HAIs (average=1.1).
The mean extra cost per infected case was 52192 FF (US$10 440), corresponding to 5.2 extra days in hospital.
