Previous Long-Term Care Facility Admission as a Risk Factor For Scabies in a Medical Facility
Abstract The aim of study was to elucidate simple and effective risk factors for scabies infection in medical environment for early detection and prevention of exposure to other patients and medical staffs. We conducted a case-control study of patients who were diagnosed with scabies among hospitalized patients between 2008 and 2019 in an acute-care teaching hospital. Each case was matched sex and age with two randomly selected controls without scabies during hospitalization. Clinical characteristics of cases at the time of hospital admission were compared to those of control group. Scabies group included 34 patients and 68 patients were included in control group. Scabies group was admitted more via emergency department and had more history of long-term care facility admission. Scabies group had more indwelling catheters, was more in severe medical status, incommunicable, in a bed ridden condition. Scabies patients also had higher C-reactive protein and lower albumin levels. After adjustment, previous long-term care facility admission alone was associated with scabies (risk ratio 12.74, 95% confidence interval 1.42-114.31, P = 0.023). Careful examination particularly patients with previous long-term care facility admission might useful for early detection of scabies infection..
