    Background: Healthcare -Associated Infections (HAI) outbreaks remain a huge challenge to the healthcare sectors worldwide. Their impact on morbidity and mortality, economic and healthcare burden remains a public health problem and a challenge to the HAI surveillance system, infection control, and HAI management strategies. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological patterns, distribution, causative agents of HAI outbreaks and the influence of age, COVID-19 co -infection, medical invasive procedures, and hospital units on mortality among HAI outbreaks cases. Methods: This chart review study involved HAI outbreak cases recorded in Ministry of Health hospitals during 2020-2021 in Saudi Arabia. HAI outbreak notification and investigation forms were used for data collection. A binary logistic regression model was performed to determine the significant predictors of mortality. Univariate analyses were performed to determine the association between hospital units, organisms, and COVID-19 co -infection to the site of infection. Results: A total of 217 HAI outbreaks with 1003 cases were recorded in 2020-2021. Gram-negative bacteria were isolated from 73.8% of the cases. The overall specific case fatality rate was 47.5%. The significant predictors of mortality were age, invasive medical procedures, COVID-19 co -infection, and intensive care units'' admission. Moreover, ventilator -associated events were more associated with cases co -infected with COVID-19. Conclusion: HAI outbreaks were most prevalent in the Western and Central region and in intensive care units. Gram negative bacteria were responsible for most of cases while ventilator -associated events and central line -associated bloodstream infections were the most common infection sites. Implementing targeted and effective prevention and control strategies is recommended. (c) 2024 The Authors.
