a

In DE, CLABSI data were submitted for a single ICU per hospital until 2011.

b

It was unclear when mandatory CLABSI data submission in neonatal and pediatric ICUs began in DC and MN. Possibly as early as 2007 and 2010, respectively and definitely by 2010 and 2013, respectively.

c

Pediatric hospitals in MN were exempt from submitting CLABSI data.

d

In NJ, MRSA data were submitted for at least one ICU location per hospital until 2011.
