During 1993 and 1994, the Hospital infection Society; conducted its Second National Prevalence Survey of infections in patients in British hospitals. The prevalence rates for hospital-acquired (HX) and community-acquired (CA), lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) were 2.4% and 6.1%, respectively; this shows an increase over that reported in the First National Prevalence Study The prevalence rate of HA infections for ventilated patients was 18.6%. The prevalence was greater in males, odds ratio (OR, 95% CI) for HA-LRTIs (1.4, 1.1-1.6) and CA-LRTIs (1.2, 1.1-1.3) than in females. In the case of both HA-LRTIs and CA-LRTIs, there was an increase in prevalence in patients with age >75 years, (HA-LRTIs 1.7, 1.3-2.2; CA-LRTIs 1.7, 1.0-2.7). Results of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed an increased risk of HA-LRTIs in patients who had a nasogastric tube (3.6, 2.3-3.6), were ventilated (2.3. 1.6-3.2), trauma patients (2.2, 1.5-3.0), chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD), (1.9, 1.3-2.3). a tracheostomy (1.9, 1.3-2.7), prior blood transfusion (1.5, 1.2-1.8), smokers (1.4, 1.1-1.6) or on systemic corticosteroid therapy (OK 1.3, 1.1-1.6). Community-acquired LRTIs were positively associated with cystic fibrosis (33.7, 19.1-59.3), HIV (9.8, 6.5-14.8), COAD (4.8, 3.8-4.8), systemic corticosteroid therapy (2.5, 2.2-2.8), tracheostomy. (1.8, 1.1-2.9), males (1.2, 1.1-1.3) and smoking (1.2, 1.1-1.4). (C) 2000 The Hospital Infection Society.
