Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology
differences in infection type. Surveillance focusing on device- associated HAIs, especially in the ICU, are probably missing a significant proportion of the HAI burden in tertiary-care settings. This study could serve as a baseline for future PPS studies. Periodically repeating PPS studies may help identify priorities, may help in setting and/or evaluating targets for interventions, and can raise awareness in the healthcare community.
