Incidence of community-acquired bacteremia (CAB) and associated death rate between 2004–2010 in northeast Thailand.
Figure 1.
Age- and gender- specific incidence rate of community-acquired bacteremia (CAB), northeast Thailand, 2004–2010.
CAB was defined in patients who had pathogenic organisms isolated from blood taken in the first 2 days of admission and without a hospital stay within 30 days prior to the admission. The incidence rate of CAB was calculated as the number of CAB identified in the participating hospitals per 100,000 people per year.

Figure 3.
Mortality rates from leading causes of death due to infectious diseases per 100,000 people per year in northeast Thailand between 2004 and 2010.
Mortality rate attributable to CAB was calculated as the number of CAB patients who died within 30 days of the admission per 100,000 people per year. Death due to other infectious diseases shown was defined in patients who were admitted to the study hospitals, died within 30 days of admission, and had the primary cause of death based on ICD-10 codes of HIV disease (B20–24), tuberculosis (A15–19), lower respiratory tract infection (J09–18), and diarrhea (A09), after excluding those who died within 30 days due to CAB as described above.
