Rate of CVC utilization and CLABSI incidence in different ICUs

ICU type	No. of hospitalization days	No. of device days	No. of patients with CLABSI	Utilization rate of CVCs,% M (Q1, Q2, Q3)	CLABSI rate, per 1000 catheter-days M (Q1, Q2, Q3)	P value
General ICU	916,504	393,391	649	42.92 (27.78, 44.60, 55.57)	1.65 (.32, 1.07, 2.74)

Emergency ICU	23,687	9810	3	41.42 (18.43, 41.85, 49.19)	.31 (.00, .00, .00)	.001

P value: CLABSI incidence of Special ICUs were separately compared with General ICU. P values < 0.00625(0.05/8 = 0.00625) were considered statistically significant
