Cost of bloodstream infections [PDF]
American Journal of Infection Control, 2008 Hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (BSIs) are relatively rare but do not occur randomly. This suggests that unobserved confounding factors can bias estimates of BSI-associated incremental costs of care. Compared with previous studies, this analysis used a large sample size for greater precision, actual cost-accounting data, and case matching ...
