Pooled means and key percentiles of the distribution of pediatric ventilator-associated PNEU rates and ventilator utilization ratios, by type of pediatric location, Acute Care Hospitals, DA module, 2013

Pediatric Ventilator-associated PNEU rate*					Percentile
Type of Location	No. of locations†	No. of Ped VAP	Ventilator-days	Pooled mean	10%	25%	50% (median)	75%	90%
Critical Care Units
Pediatric cardiothoracic	14	11	24,996	0.4
Pediatric medical	10 (8)	4	5,259	0.8
Pediatric medical/surgical	110 (93)	67	100,643	0.7	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.8	1.3

Pediatric Ventilator utilization ratio‡					Percentile
Type of location	No. of locations†	Ventilator-days	Patient-days	Pooled mean	10%	25%	50% (median)	75%	90%
Critical Care Units
Pediatric cardiothoracic	14	24,996	64,795	0.39
Pediatric medical	10 (9)	5,259	15,821	0.33
Pediatric medical/surgical	110 (108)	100,643	271,458	0.37	0.07	0.16	0.28	0.42	0.51

PNEU, pneumonia; VAP, ventilator-associated PNEU.

^*$\frac{\text{Number of pediatric VAP}}{\text{Number of ventilator-days}}\times 1000$

^†The number in parentheses is the number of locations meeting minimum requirements for percentile distributions (i.e., ≥50 device days for rate distributions, ≥50 patient days for device utilization ratios) if less than total number of locations. If this number is <20, percentile distributions are not calculated.

^‡$\frac{\text{Number of ventilator-days}}{\text{Number of patient-days}}$
