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.
