AI Summary
This report addresses Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) as a significant public health concern. It highlights that HAIs, often occurring in hospitals, pose a risk to patient health and can be attributed to factors such as inadequate hygiene and antibiotic overuse. The report references data from 2014 indicating the prevalence of HAIs in the USA. It further discusses the impact of HAIs on the elderly population, particularly those aged 65 and older, due to immunosenescence, making them more susceptible to heart failure and other health complications. The report also references key sources, including the CDC and Premier Safety Institute, to support its findings.
