UNK: unknown or missing data

LRTI: low respiratory tract infection
a Only one case of LRTI
b Including: nine cases of systemic infection, four catheter related infections, four reproductive tract infections, one endocarditis and one eyes ear nose throats infection not classified.
Note: Twenty-one patients whose infection could not be differentiated between community-acquired and hospital-acquired infection were excluded from calculating HAI prevalence.
