The nosocomial infection rate describes the number of health-care associated infections occurring per unit time in an at risk population. Often, nosocomial infection rates are categorized by type of infection, such as surgical-site infections, central-line associated blood stream infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, or health-care associated urinary tract infections.
These rates can be calculated by dividing the number of cases by the number of days at risk. For example, suppose 10 people are mechanically ventilated for 5 days each, and one person develops ventilator associated pneumonia on day 2. The 9 who do not develop pneumonia contribute 90 person-days at risk but the person who developed pneumonia on day 2 contributes only 2 person-days. Then the ventilator associated pneumonia rate is then 1 case per 92 ventilator-days.
Alternatively, infection "rates" may be reported as the proportion of patients who develop a nosocomial infection. In the example above, 1 person in 10, or 10%, developed pneumonia. However, this is not a true rate because it does not contain time in the denominator. Many nosocomial infection 'rates' are actually reported as proportions and are not clearly labeled.
