Hospital Magnet Status as Predictor of CLABSI Rates Before and After Matching on Hospital Characteristics

Bivariate Logistic Regression

Note. CLABSI, central line-associated blood stream infection; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.

a

N =1995.

b

n =582 in bivariate model; n =575 in adjusted model (7 small hospitals were dropped from the analysis due to complete separation of the model; none had better-than-average CLABSI rates).

c

Adjusted models controlled for hospital characteristics: bed size, technology status, teaching status, ownership, Market Competition/Herfindahl–Hirschman Index, % Medicaid, core-based statistical area, and nurse staffing. Magnet and non-Magnet hospitals were not matched on nurse staffing.
