CLABSI Risk Adjustment for ICU and Ward Locations (ACHs)
The number of predicted CLABSIs under the 2022 baseline for ICU and ward locations is calculated using a negative binomial regression model and is risk adjusted based on the following variables found to be statistically significant predictors of CLABSI incidence. Information about the statistical properties of NHSN risk adjustment models, including how the number of predicted events is calculated, is available in NHSN’s Guide to the SIR (2022 baseline) [PDF – 1MB].
