Relevance of intra-hospital patient movements for the spread of healthcare-associated infections within hospitals - a mathematical modeling study
Fig 2
(A) Mean number of movements per day normalized by hospital size, number of departments and the number of admissions per year in each risk group for every hospital. (B) Mean number of movements per hospital admission for each risk group and for each hospital. Error bars show standard deviation. (C) Proportion of admissions versus number of movements in each risk group for every hospital on log-linear scale. It is worth noting here that major proportion of admissions in each hospital has zero movements (UMCU (Low-risk 86.62%, High-risk 87.06%), HUVM (Low-risk 89.05%, High-risk 83.79%), CUM (Low-risk 64.81%, High-risk 64.43%), BH (Low-risk 96.6%, High-risk 93.63%), and UKH (Low-risk 76.45%, High-risk 66.01%)). (D) Mean number of movements versus admission LOS for each risk group and every hospital. To better visualize the trends between the risk groups at smaller LOS, data over 100 days LOS are not shown in D. There are however, few data points above 100 days LOS (see S2 Numerical Data for complete data).
