On 5 May 2017, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) published its updated protocol for surveillance of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and prevention indicators in European intensive care units (ICUs)[1]. The ECDC’s Healthcare-Associated Infections surveillance Network (HAI-Net) has been coordinating European surveillance of HAIs in ICUs since 2008 with participation of 15 countries and 1365 ICUs in 2015 [2]. The methodology was originally developed by the Hospitals in Europe Link for Infection Control through Surveillance (HELICS) project in 2000–2002 [3] and adopted by ECDC in 2010. A revision of the first protocol was agreed at consensus expert meetings in 2013–2015.The objective of the ECDC surveillance protocol is the standardisation of case definitions, data collection and reporting procedures for hospitals participating in national or regional surveillance of HAIs in ICUs across Europe in order to facilitate the collection of comparable epidemiological data as a basis for interventions and the communication and exchange of experience of national surveillance systems. The case definitions of HAIs aim to accommodate differences, across Europe, in diagnostic practices such as taking microbiological samples for the diagnosis of HAIs. The minimal requirement for participation in surveillance of HAIs in ICUs is surveillance of bloodstream infections (BSIs) and pneumonia (PN).
