Abstract

Nosocomial infections, commonly referred to as hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), represent a formidable challenge within healthcare facilities globally. This study endeavours to comprehensively investigate the prevalence, causative agents, and associated risk factors of nosocomial infections specifically within the confines of a tertiary care hospital. By scrutinizing these aspects, the research seeks to illuminate critical insights into the dynamics of infection transmission and susceptibility factors among hospitalized patients. Such an analysis is pivotal in enhancing our understanding of how these infections manifest and spread, thereby informing targeted strategies for prevention and control. Addressing nosocomial infections effectively is crucial not only for improving patient safety and health outcomes but also for optimizing healthcare resource utilization in the face of this persistent public health concern.
