Incidence rates are given per 1000 patient-days. Total refers to the period from March 15 to September 30, whereas the lockdown phase is from March 15 to June 15 and the post-lockdown phase is from June 16 to September 30.
Criteria for sepsis coding changed between 2019 and 2020 impeding direct comparison.
