Antibiotic-Resistant Bloodstream Infections in Hospital Patients
This indicator measures the rate and number of new cases of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections caused by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus (VRE). The rate is expressed as the number of new cases per 1,000 inpatient days (days hospital beds were occupied by patients) during the reporting period. A lower rate and a lower number of cases are better.
