Number of stool tests in hospitals per 1000 patient days

The figures are for the year 2022. Laboratory results of stool samples confirm hospital-acquired infections caused by Clostridium difficile. The European average was 6 tests per 1000 patient days.

It’s important to note that hospitals should not be directly compared based on these indicators alone. Differences between hospitals can be because one hospital treats more serious patients or performs more serious operations, which may be the reason for more frequent sampling and use of hand sanitizers. Although we asked the NCPHP to provide us with more detailed data that would allow us to produce a ranking, they did not do so. However, the tables we have published do give an idea of how each hospital compares to the European average in terms of each indicator.
