• Description:
  This report presents a set of national summary statistics for CLABSIs, CAUTIs, and SSIs for 2010, including serial SIRs for CLABSI and SSI for 2009-2010. As a single summary measure of prevention success, there has been a large reduction (32%) in CLABSIs among reporting hospitals compared to predictions and more modest reductions for CAUTI and SSI. Prevention success improved in 2010 compared to the 2009 level of success for CLABSI. For SSI, improved prevention success over the two years was documented most significantly for coronary artery bypass graft operations (in 2010, 18% SSIs prevented), while stable reductions in SSIs were evident for two of the nine other operative procedures evaluated (knee arthroplasty, 11% reduction; colon surgery, 9% reduction). Overall, there appears to be great room for improvement across the variety of operative procedures. Serial comparisons of CLABSI at the state-level provide an improved means for monitoring the impact of interventions and indicate the successes of state- based and national HAI reduction efforts. Ongoing interactions with state health departments will be critical to determine ways to improve the reporting of HAIs and to act on these data to prevent HAIs. Although comparative data on HAIs (e.g., comparing the local facility to the referent group) are available to each participating facility at all times through the NHSN system, facility- specific SIRs have been used by an increasing number of state departments to present annual HAI summary.13-20 CDC will continue to report SIRs at the national level as a measure of progress toward the HHS HAI Action Plan targets and to gauge the impact of federal support to the states for HAI prevention. However, first and foremost, these summary data add to a comprehensive body of data related to HAI occurrence for analysis and action at the local, state, and national levels.
