A prospective study of 2676 blood cultures was performed to identify the factors associated with clinically, significant nosocomial bacteraemia that occurred during a one year period in the Malaga University Clinical Hospital. Three hundred and fifty-five episodes of bacteraemia were considered clinically significant. The overall incidence of bacteraemia was 19.5/1000 admissions, of which 46% were hospital-acquired. A multivariate model showed that only six factors were significantly, and independently, responsible for nosocomial bacteraemias: intravascular catheterization (P < 0.0001, OR = 18.37), invasive procedures (P < 0.0001, OR = 10.38), malignancy (P = 0.035, OR = 3.11), indwelling devices (P = 0.005, OR = 3.05), stay in intensive care or surgical departments (P = 0.05, OR = 2.63) and length of hospital stay (P = 0.051, OR = 1.02). These results show that the factors which had most influence on the development of nosocomial bacteraemias were those factors associated with the treatment received by patients during their hospital stay.
