National Comparison
Abdominal Hysterectomy Surgical Site Infections, 2022 --- --- Similar
Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI), 2022 Similar 0.61 Lower
Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI), 2022 Similar 1.827 Lower
Colon Surgical Site Infections, 2022 Similar 0.998 Lower
Knee Arthroplasty Surgical Site Infections, 2022 Similar 2.169 Similar
Overall Surgical Site Infections, 2022 Similar 1.295 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.
