COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED INFECTIONS IN THE GERIATRIC TRAUMA POPULATION

Shock, 2000
The incidence of community-acquired infections (CAs) and their relationship to the incidence of nosocomial infections (NI), to our knowledge, is unknown in elderly trauma patients. We prospectively collected data on 380 patients > or =65 years of age who were admitted >48 h to our trauma center over a 2-year period.

eGFR and the Risk of Community-Acquired Infections. [PDF]

Clin J Am Soc Nephrol, 2017
Background and objectives Community-acquired infections are common, contributing to adverse outcomes and increased health care costs. We hypothesized that, with lower eGFR, the incidence of community-acquired infections increases, whereas the pattern of site-specific infections varies.
