Footnotes:

  1. Between 1-3 pathogens are required to be reported to NHSN for each CLABSI and CAUTI event. Between 0-3 pathogens can be reported to NHSN for each PVAP and SSI event.
  2. There were 46,099 SSIs and 403 PVAPs reported to NHSN without a pathogen from 2018 – 2021. These events are included in the event counts in Table 2.
