| NSP distance of observed data mean [95% CI] | 5.61 [5.35–5.87] | 7.34 [6.41–8.27] | 6.15 [5.50–6.81] | 5.92 [5.43–6.40] | 4.86 [4.49–5.24] |
| NSP distance of permutations mean [95% CI] | 5.89 [5.65–6.12] | 7.24 [6.46–8.02] | 6.32 [5.69–6.95] | 6.13 [5.69–6.57] | 5.35 [5.01–5.68] |
| p value* | 2.71 × 10−27 | 0.14 | 0.001 | 9.78 × 10−7 | 7.17 × 10−20 |
Potential infectors were identified for a total of 1,125 episodes over the entire 2012 to 2015 period. In year-specific analyses, CPE data only contained episodes occurring from January 1st to December 31st; therefore, the search for potential infectors was restricted to this period. As a result, 128 potential infectors identified in the global analysis were not included in the stratified analyses.
