MethodsWe retrospectively applied an optimised pair of MA SPC charts 8 to all 30 SSI outbreaks previously identified and investigated from 2007 to 2015 in the Duke Infection Control Outreach Network (DICON), a network of more than 50 community hospitals (online supplementary table). 9 We used procedure-specific SSI data from either the entire network or the single outbreak hospital to calculate chart baselines, or expected SSI rates. The baseline window was the time period used to estimate the expected SSI rate on a rolling basis. The lag was the offset (in months) between each evaluated time point and the corresponding baseline window. The MA span was the number of monthly SSI rates that were averaged, weighted by their respective sample sizes, to calculate each plotted point.
