Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is the incidence (cases/ 1000 patients per year) and the incidence-density (cases/1000 patient days per year) of hospital-acquired blood stream infections (HA-BSI) on hospital level for 2017, 2018 and 2019. For this endpoint, blood cultures from day 3 after hospital admission are taken into account. Data are collected by the national nosocomial surveillance System. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints for 2017, 2018 and 2019 are (i) the incidence/ incidence density of HA-BSI with resistant pathogens, (ii) the incidence/ incidence density of hospital-acquired clostridium difficile infections (CDI), and (iii) the consumption of alcohol-based hand rubs. All escondary endpoints are analyzed on hospital Level. Data are collected by the national nosocomial surveillance system. | — |
