Coronavirus Disease – 2019 (COVID-19) Reports

Hospital COVID-19 Data

• Continued Increases in HAI Incidence During the Second Year of the COVID-19 Pandemic
  Presents a comparison between 2019 and 2021 national standardized infection ratios (SIRs) for CLABSI, CAUTI, VAE, SSI, MRSA bacteremia LabID, and CDI LabID from acute care hospitals. For most HAIs, national SIRs in 2021 remain significantly higher than SIRs from the pre-pandemic time period. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2022.
• Pathogens attributed to CLABSIs during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic
  Compares CLABSI pathogen distributions and select antimicrobial resistance between 2019 and 2020 from acute care hospitals. Also provides a summary of common CLABSI pathogens among COVID-19 ICU patients. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2022.
• Impact of COVID-19 on HAIs in 2020: A summary of data reported to NHSN
  Presents a comparison between 2019 and 2020 national and state quarterly standardized infection ratios (SIRs) for CLABSI, CAUTI, VAE, SSI, MRSA bacteremia LabID, and CDI LabID from acute care hospitals. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2021.

  Summarizes hospital capacities and shortages of healthcare personnel and supply among US hospitals during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2021.
• Changes in the number of ICU beds in US hospitals during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic
  Summarizes the impact of COVID-19 on ICU capacities in the US by comparing the number of ICU beds reported to NHSN daily, between April – July 2020, to the ICU bed sizes reported on the 2019 NHSN annual surveys. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol. 2021; 1-12.
• Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on CLABSIs during the early months of 2020, NHSN
  Details a descriptive analysis of central-line–associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in acute-care hospitals to determine potential impact of COVID-19 on standardized infection ratio (SIR). Data reported to NHSN in Q2 2020 was compared to Q2 2019. Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 2021; 1-4.
• Impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on US Hospitals and Patients, April–July 2020
  Describes development of time series estimates from data reported to NHSN from April 1 – July 14, 2020 to allow near–real-time daily national and state indicators of the COVID-19 pandemic.
