Data analysis using chi-square test analysis. Result: The results showed that the dominant type of infection was urinary tract infection (35.6%), the most widely used type of invasive procedure was catheters (35.6%), the most common type of germs was conditional pathogens (84.4%), and the most common type of invasive procedure was catheter treatment ≥ 7 days (64.4%). The determinants of nosocomial infection in hospitalized patients were the type of invasive action (surgery, p value 0.013 and length of stay of patients (≥ 7 days, p value 0.035).
