Rates for hospitals of similar size and location were compared. RESULTS: The study included observations on 99,834 patients during 2002â2004. The infection rates per 1000 days over the entire period were 4.72 per 1000 patient days and 6.48 per 1000 device days. The correlation of infection rates per month using device days compared to patient days was 0.978 (p,0.001) using Pearsonâs and 0.987 (p,0.001) using Spearmanâs. This shows that the values are not independent.
