Standardized Infection Ratios for Colon Surgery Site Infections 2013
The Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) is a statistic used to track healthcare associated infections (HAIs) over time, at a national, state, or facility level. The SIR compares the actual number of HAIs at each hospital, to the predicted number of infections. The predicted number is an estimate based on national baseline data, and it is risk adjusted. Risk adjustment takes into account that some hospitals treat sicker patients than others.

Description
A surgical site infection is an infection that occurs after surgery in the part of the body where the surgery took place. Surgical site infections can sometimes be superficial infections involving the skin only.
Other surgical site infections are more serious and can involve tissues under the skin, organs, or implanted material. Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides guidelines and tools to the healthcare community to help end surgical site infections and resources to help the public understand these infections and take measures to safeguard their own health when possible.
The Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) is a statistic used to track healthcare associated infections (HAIs) over time, at a national, state, or facility level. lower SIRs are better.
If the SIR is 1, then the number of actual infections is the same as the number of predicted infections.
If the SIR is less than 1, then the number of actual infections is less than the number of predicted infections.
If the SIR is greater than 1, then the number of actual infections is greater than the number of predicted infections.
Usually, a low SIR reflects the results of robust HAI prevention strategies. These scenarios are exciting, and CDC is working with facilities and states to learn and share best practices.

Data Fields
Name | Description | Type | Constraints |
---|---|---|---|
State | Name of U.S. State, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico | string | required : 1 |
State_NHSN_Mandate | Yes indicates the presence of a state mandate to report CAUTI data from any location to NHSN at the beginning of 2013. The 'Mid-year Implementation' is also included as an option for the mandate. | string | - |
Any_Validation | Indicates that whether the state health department reported the completion of all validation activities. The Values are "Yes", "No" and "YesA". "YesA" indicates that the state also conducted an audit of facility medical or laboratory records prior to July 1, 2014 to confirm proper case ascertainment. | string | - |
Facilities_Reporting | Identifies the number of facilities reporting in the state. | integer | level : Ratio |
Procedures | Identifies the number of Procedures reported in the state for the year 2013. | integer | level : Ratio |
Infections_Observed | Identifies the total number of infections observed in the state for the year 2013. | integer | level : Ratio |
Infections_Predicted | Identifies the total number of infections predicted in the state for the year 2013. | number | level : Ratio |
SIR | Standardized Infection Ratio which is the ratio of Number of infections observed to no. of infections predicted. | number | level : Ratio |
Ninety_Five_Percent_CI_for_SIR_Lower | A 95% CI assesses the magnitude and stability of an SIR. Specifically, a 95% CI is the range of estimated SIR values that has a 95% probability of including the true SIR for the population. A confidence interval (CI) is calculated around an SIR to determine how likely it is that the number of observed number of cases is high or low by chance. | number | level : Ratio |
Ninety_Five_Percent_CI_for_SIR_Upper | A 95% CI assesses the magnitude and stability of an SIR. Specifically, a 95% CI is the range of estimated SIR values that has a 95% probability of including the true SIR for the population. A confidence interval (CI) is calculated around an SIR to determine how likely it is that the number of observed number of cases is high or low by chance. | number | level : Ratio |
Facility_Specific_SIRs_Facilities_With_Atleast_1_Predicted_SSI | Percent of facilities with at least one predicted colon surgery SSI that had an SIR significantly greater or less than the 2013 national overall colon surgery SSI SIR of 0.919. This is only calculated if at least 10 facilities had at least one predicted colon surgery SSI in 2013. | integer | level : Ratio |
Percent_of_Facs_With_SIR_Sig_Higher_Than_National_SIR | Identifies the number of facilities having SIR greater than national SIR. | integer | level : Ratio |
Percent_of_Facs_With_SIR_Sig_Lower_Than_National_SIR | Identifies the number of facilities having SIR lower than national SIR. | integer | level : Ratio |
Key_Percentiles_10_Percent | Facility-specific key percentiles were only calculated if at least 20 facilities had ≥1.0 predicted colon surgery SSI in 2013. If a facility’s predicted number of colon surgery SSI was <1.0, a facility-specific SIR was neither calculated nor included in the distribution of facility-specific SIRs. | number | level : Ratio |
Key_Percentiles_25_Percent | Facility-specific key percentiles were only calculated if at least 20 facilities had ≥1.0 predicted colon surgery SSI in 2013. If a facility’s predicted number of colon surgery SSI was <1.0, a facility-specific SIR was neither calculated nor included in the distribution of facility-specific SIRs. | number | level : Ratio |
Key_Percentiles_50_Percent | Facility-specific key percentiles were only calculated if at least 20 facilities had ≥1.0 predicted colon surgery SSI in 2013. If a facility’s predicted number of colon surgery SSI was <1.0, a facility-specific SIR was neither calculated nor included in the distribution of facility-specific SIRs. | number | level : Ratio |
Key_Percentiles_75_Percent | Facility-specific key percentiles were only calculated if at least 20 facilities had ≥1.0 predicted colon surgery SSI in 2013. If a facility’s predicted number of colon surgery SSI was <1.0, a facility-specific SIR was neither calculated nor included in the distribution of facility-specific SIRs. | number | level : Ratio |
Key_Percentiles_90_Percent | Facility-specific key percentiles were only calculated if at least 20 facilities had ≥1.0 predicted colon surgery SSI in 2013. If a facility’s predicted number of colon surgery SSI was <1.0, a facility-specific SIR was neither calculated nor included in the distribution of facility-specific SIRs. | number | level : Ratio |
