50 statistics on state CLABSI rates

The following is a list of standardized infection ratios — observed to expected infection rates — for central-line associated bloodstream infections for the 50 states and Washington, D.C.

SIRs that are less than one indicate the state had fewer CLABSIs than would have been predicted. SIRs greater than one indicate infection rates were higher than would have been predicted.

For SIRs less than one, subtracting the SIR from one shows the percent decrease in CLABSIs from the baseline.

Here, states are listed from smallest to largest SIRs. Note that all states have a SIR less than one.

The Hospital Compare data was gathered from January 1, 2015, through March 31, 2015, the most recent data available.

Note: States' SIRs show their individual progress in reducing CLABSIs and are not meant to compare actual CLABSI rates among states.
