ICU Infections

• In-hospital mortality in ICU patients with a Hospital-Acquired Infection (HAI) was 4 times higher than in those without a HAI

• Length of ICU stay of in-patients with a HAI doubled, from average 8.1 days to 15.8 days

• Based on the analysis of direct variable costs & fixed overhead costs, these infections cost an extra $16,000 per ICU stay — from $21,500 for a patient without a HAI to $37,500 for a patient with a HAI

• Bloodstream infection was the greatest driver of mortality (24.7%), followed by hospital-acquired pneumonia (16.7%), and surgical-site infection (10.9%)
