Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) Table
www.cdc.govThe standardized infection ratio is a risk-adjusted summary measure that compares the observed number of infections to the expected number of infections based on NHSN aggregate data. This document explains how to calculate and interpret the SIR for device-associated infections. The example below is for CLABSI, but the CAUTI SIR is
