DNA tests have confirmed that a homeless man found dead beneath an overpass in San Diego was Elvis Presley. This claim is a hoax. âEarlier this month, an 80-year-old, homeless, white-bearded man was found deceased under an overpass in San Diego, California.
Surgical site infections, with an overall cost of $3.3 billion, had the highest share of the total annual costs, estimated to be $9.8 billion, among the five major HAIs.
Reports from Mexican ICUs estimated the overall average cost of a HAIs episode at $12,155 with an excess cost of $11,591 per case of CR-BSI (1). In several ICUs in Argentina, the overall extra cost estimates for CR-BSI and healthcare-associated pneumonia averaged $4,888 and $2,255 per case, respectively (1).
