Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary Outcome: The contamination rates of blood culture samples. Description: According to internationally accepted standards, a contaminated sample will be considered when only a set of cultures grow common skin organisms, including coagulase negative Staphylococcus, viridans group Streptococcus, Bacilluss species, Neisseria species (other than Neisseria meningitidis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae), Micrococcus species or rods Gram-positive aerobics. ;Primary Outcome: Outcome of the patient in the intensive care unit and hospital (discharge or death). Description: Outcome of the patient in the intensive care unit and hospital (discharge or death) reported by the doctor in the patient's record.	—
