Abstract

BACKGROUND: Disinfection and sterilization activities are integral parts of the epidemiological safety system in healthcare aimed at preventing healthcare-associated infections. The quality of disinfection and sterilization activities affects healthcare efficiency and the safety of both patients and healthcare professionals. Continuous monitoring of key disinfection and sterilization indicators is an important constituent of a healthcare-associated infection surveillance system implemented in healthcare institutions, organizations, and bodies of Rospotrebnadzor (Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing). AIM: To analyze data on the disinfection and sterilization activities implemented in healthcare institutions of the Ural and Siberian Federal Districts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Based on the information obtained from State Federal Statistical Monitoring form No. 27 Information on disinfection activities for 20152022 presented by the Rospotrebnadzor offices of the respective Russian Federation constituents, long-term average annual and Russias nationwide average figures were compared. The rating of the quality of disinfection and sterilization measures in the healthcare institutions of the Ural and Siberian Federal Districts was analyzed using Statistica 10, and the most significant groups of indicators were selected for analysis. RESULTS: The resulting rating scores and their long-term annual kinetics suggest that the steadiest quality indicators of the disinfection and sterilization activities were observed in healthcare institutions in the Khakass Republic, Tyumen, and Omsk Oblasts. CONCLUSIONS: Continuous monitoring of key disinfection and sterilization indicators in healthcare institutions allows the development of task-oriented preventive activities and their adjustment to changes in the epidemiologic situation in the region.
