中心线相关性血流感染（CLABSIs）是一种常见、昂贵且在很大程度上可预防的疾病。希望获得高质量医疗服务的消费者应该能够获得CLABSI费率，以做出医疗保健决定。作者在州卫生部门网站上搜索公开可用的CLABSI数据。14个州都有强制性的CLABSI监控法律，它们都有公开的数据。作者确定了感染率的表现、风险调整方法、报告的地点和护理环境、数据收集的时间跨度和报告的时间滞后等方面的显著差异。信息的可得性和内容的广泛差异说明需要建立标准化的CLABSI监测和报告机制。
Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are common, costly, and largely preventable. Consumers who want high-quality care should have access to CLABSI rates to make health care decisions. The authors searched state health department Web sites for publicly available CLABSI data. Fourteen states, all with mandatory CLABSI monitoring laws, had publicly available data. The authors identified significant variation in the presentation of infection rates, methods of risk adjustment, locations and care settings reported, time span of data collection, and time lag to reporting. The wide variation in availability and content of information illustrates the need for standardized CLABSI monitoring and reporting mechanisms.
