Resumo: OBJECTIVE: Hospital infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of hospital infection and risk factors associated with it. METHODS: This is a prospective study of a sample of 332 elderly people, 60 years and older, interned in a university hospital, between September 1999 and February 2000. Sample size was calculated according to the Fisher and Belle formula, with a confidence interval of 0.95%, from a total of 760 elderly patients interned, in proportion to the number of patients present in each in-patient unit, in the 1997. Criteria for defining hospital infection were those established by the Center for Diseases and Prevention Control. Odds ratio and logistic regression were utilized for statistical analysis of the data. RESULTS: The rate of hospital infection was 23.6%. The prevalent topographies of infection were respiratory infections (27.6%), urinary tract infections (26.4%) and surgical wound infections (23.6%). The period of hospitalization of patients who did have hospital infections was 6.9 days, while those who had hospital infections were hospitalized for 15.9 days (p

O estudo realizado teve como objetivo avaliar a ocorrência e os fatores de risco da infecção hospitalar. MÉTODOS: Realizou-se estudo prospectivo em uma amostra de 322 idosos com 60 anos e mais, internados em um hospital universitário, entre setembro de 1999 e fevereiro de 2000. O cálculo da amostra foi feito pela fórmula de Fisher e Belle, com intervalo de confiança de 0,95%, de um total de 760 idosos internados, proporcionalmente ao número de pacientes em cada unidade de internação, no ano de 1997. Os critérios para definição da infecção hospitalar foram os do Center for Diseases and Prevention Control. Para a análise estatística dos dados foram utilizados o odds ratio e regressão logística. RESULTADOS: A taxa de infecção hospitalar encontrada foi de 23,6%. As topografias prevalentes de infecção hospitalar foram infecção respiratória (27,6%), do trato urinário (26,4%) e do sítio cirúrgico (23,6%). O tempo de internação dos pacientes sem infecção hospitalar foi de 6,9 dias e dos com infecção hospitalar foi de 15,9 (pUniversidade de São Paulo.
