Application of an updated methodology to estimate the burden of healthcare-associated infections in Italy, 2022

Weighting prevalence inversely proportional to time-at-risk has been proposed as a solution for length-biased sampling, an important limitation affecting prevalence to incidence conversion for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Aim: This study aimed to update Italian burden estimates by calculating HAI incidence, attributable mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALY...
