Guide for use:![]() | Patient days under Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) surveillance should only reflect those beds covered by SAB surveillance arrangements. If a hospital was not included in the SAB surveillance arrangements for part of the year, then the patient days for that part of the year are excluded. If part of the hospital was not included in the SAB surveillance arrangements (e.g. children's ward, psychiatric wards), then patient days for that part of the hospital are excluded. Patient days for non-acute hospitals (such as rehabilitation and psychiatric hospitals) are included if the hospital was included in the SAB surveillance arrangements. A day is measured from midnight to 2359 hours. Patient days for unqualified newborns, hospital boarders, and posthumous organ procurement are excluded. The following basic rules are used to calculate the number of patient days for overnight-stay patients:
The following additional rules cover special circumstances and in such cases, override the basic rules:
When calculating total patient days for a specified period:

Comments:![]() | SAB rates are presented per 10,000 patient days under SAB surveillance. SAB surveillance coverage is the number of patient days under SAB surveillance presented as a percentage of the number of patient days. |
