National Comparison‡		 Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) NJ Statewide to
National Comparison
Abdominal Hysterectomy Surgical Site Infections, 2019 --- --- Similar
Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI), 2019 Similar 1.014 Lower
Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI), 2019 Similar 0.563 Lower
Colon Surgical Site Infections, 2019 Similar 0.706 Lower
Knee Arthroplasty Surgical Site Infections, 2019 Similar 0.9 Similar
Overall Surgical Site Infections, 2019 Similar 0.666 Lower

Each hospital is compared to the National Ratio=1.

--- Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) is not calculated because the Expected is < 1

Lower - indicates hospital infections are LOWER than infections seen nationally.

Similar - áindicates hospital infections are SIMILAR to infections seen nationally.
