ABSTRACT:

Objectives: The objective of this research work is to find out the occurrence, causes of risks & microbiology for having urinary tract infections in the ICU of children ward in Mayo Hospital, Lahore. Methodology: This observational study performed on all the children who got admission in the Mayo Hospital Lahore from June 2017 to June 2018. Results: During this complete one-year duration, total 428 patients got admission in the ICU for at least 2 days or more and a sum of 7.20% (n: 32) attained urinary tract infections, with a total prevalence density of eleven per thousands of pediatric ICU days. One bacteremic (4.30%) intensive care unit attained urinary tract infections happened. The average stay of urinary tract infections patients at hospital was 22 days, which was much longer than the stay of the other patients which was just 7 days. The disparity of the rate of mortality was not significant in both types of patients. The main frequently separated organisms were Escherichia coli (30.40%), Kelebsiellapneumoniae (30.40%) & Candida albicans (21.70%). Conclusions: The checking of the pediatric ICU attained urinary tract infections is very vital for the administration of the serious patients.
