Guide for use: | CODE 1 Related to an indwelling medical device To be used where the SABSI is a result of a complication of an indwelling medical device, such as an intravascular line, haemodialysis vascular access, cerebrospinal fluid shunt, or urinary catheter. CODE 2 Related to surgical site To be used where the patient episode occurs within 30 days of a surgical procedure where the SABSI is related to the surgical site, or within 90 days for deep incisional/organ space infections related to a surgically implanted device. CODE 3 Related to an invasive instrumentation or incision To be used where the SABSI was diagnosed within 48 hours of a related invasive instrumentation or incision. CODE 4 Related to cytotoxic therapy To be used where the SABSI is associated with neutropenia contributed to by cytotoxic therapy and is unrelated to the presence of an indwelling medical device. Where neutropenia is defined as at least two separate calendar days with values of absolute neutrophil count (ANC) or total white blood cells count (WBC) less than 1 x 109/L.
If the most probable cause cannot be defined by the four codes listed, then the SABSI is considered to be community-acquired and reported as such for Patient episode of Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection—infection setting, status code N. |

Comments: | To identify whether SABSIs are community associated or healthcare associated, SABSIs should undergo a standard case review by a healthcare worker trained in Infectious Diseases/Infection Control. |
