How COVID-19 impacted CAUTI and CLABSI rates in Alabama

The study objective was to quantify infection rate trends for central line–associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) in 89 Alabama hospitals from 2015 to 2021 to analyze how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted health care delivery. Retrospective...

Zusammenfassung:	The study objective was to quantify infection rate trends for central line–associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) in 89 Alabama hospitals from 2015 to 2021 to analyze how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted health care delivery. Retrospective analysis of CLABSI and CAUTI rates, from 89 Alabama hospitals via data from the Alabama Department of Public Health from 2015 to 2021. Based on our modeling strategies, there was a statistically significant decrease in rates of CAUTIs from 2015 to 2019 at an estimated rate of 7% per year (P = 0.0167) and CLABSIs from 2015 to 2018 at an estimated rate of 13% per year (P
