Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSIs)
Presented below are annual central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) occurring in critical care units, also known as intensive care units (ICUs). ICU-specific summary data for CLABSI are provided using the Standardized Infection Ratio(SIR). Statewide summaries of CLABSI data arranged by ICU type and hospital are also included.
ExportStatistical Significance
Statistically significantly better than state average or performing at the best possible rate
Not statistically significantly better or worse than state average
Statistically significantly worse than state average
