CAUTI Risk Adjustment (ACHs)
The number of predicted CAUTIs under the 2022 baseline is calculated using a negative binomial regression model and is risk adjusted based on the following variables found to be statistically significant predictors of CAUTI 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].
