It is estimated that healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) account for approximately 1.7 million infections and 99,000 deaths in US hospitals each year. 1 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) have developed standardized surveillance definitions of HAIs including surgical site infection (SSI), pneumonia, bloodstream infection (BSI), and urinary tract infection (UTI). 2 All HAIs except for these" big four" infection types are categorized as" other" types of HAI. Of the estimated numbers of total HAIs (1,195,142) and deaths associated with HAI (98,987) in US hospitals among adults and children outside of intensive care units (ICUs), other types of HAI accounted for 22%(263,810) and 11%(11,062) of deaths, respectively, 1 which suggests that other HAIs represent a substantial burden in US healthcare facilities. NHSN reports have focused on surveillance data for device-associated HAI such as central line-associated BSI, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and catheter-associated UTI. 3 The University of North Carolina (UNC) Hospitals have conducted comprehensive hospital-wide surveillance for all HAIs according to CDC criteria. 2, 4 Data from UNC Hospitals suggest that approximately 50% of HAIs identified in a tertiary care hospital are not included in published NHSN reports. 5 Overall, 208 (16.5%) of a total of 1,264 HAIs were classified as other types of HAI at UNC Hospitals in 2010. In this article, we analyze the UNC Hospitals data in order to (1) investigate trends and break down HAI categorized as" other" according to the CDC criteria and (2) analyze other HAIs by selected variables (eg, service, nurse station, and pathogen). We expect these data to be useful to infection preventionists who are interested in engaging in comprehensive efforts to reduce all HAIs and not just device-associated infections. This study was conducted at UNC Hospitals, an 800-bed tertiary care facility, with 11 years of data (2001-2011). Comprehensive hospital-wide surveillance for all HAIs that involved all CDC-defined infections was performed in accordance with CDC criteria2 by 5 infection preventionists and 2 full-time faculty members. All surveillance data were entered into an electronic database. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of UNC Chapel Hill. A total of 19,357 HAIs were identified at UNC Hospitals from 2001 to 2011, as follows: BSI, 4,989 (25.8%); UTI, 4,791 (24.8%); respiratory tract infection, 3,389 (17.5%); SSI, 3,986 (20.6%); and other, 2,202 (11.4%). The 5 major other types of HAI that were identified were as follows: gastrointestinal system infection, 1,061 (48.2%); skin and soft tissue infection, 610 (27.7%); cardiovascular system infection, 295 (13.4%); ear, nose, throat, and mouth infection, 118 (5.4%); and intracranial infection, 70 (3.2%; Table 1). Additionally, we identified the following infection types: reproductive tract infection, 18 (0.8%); bone or joint infection, 15 (0.7%); systemic infection, 14 (0.6%); and miscellaneous, 1 (< 0.1%). Overall, other infections occurred in the following wards: surgery, 877 (39.8%); medicine, 609 (27.7%); pediatric surgery, 310 (14.1%); pediatric medicine, 224 (10.2%); rehabilitation, 67 (3.0%); gynecology-obstetrics, 54 (2.5%); and miscellaneous, 61 (2.8%). Infection occurred in an ICU in 1,057 cases (48.0%), in a non-ICU setting in 1,041 cases (47.3%), and in an outpatient setting in 104 cases (4.7%). Specific infections in the 5 categories of major other types of HAI and associated pathogens are shown in Table 1. Of the 1,061 gastrointestinal system infections, gastroenteritis and peritonitis accounted for 843 (79.5%) and 135 (12.7 …
