Collection and usage attributes | |
Computation description: | A patient-episode of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) is defined as a positive blood culture for Staphylococcus aureus. Only the first isolate per patient is counted, unless at least 14 days has passed without a positive blood culture, in which case an additional episode is recorded. |
---|---|
Computation: | Count only |
Numerator: | For public acute-care hospitals in Peer Group A and B, the number of patient episodes of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (both methicillin resistant and methicillin sensitive) where the time when the first positive blood culture was collected was 48 hours or more after admission to hospital

Benchmark: | Related National Partnership Agreement benchmark/target: The rate of Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA) bacteraemia is no more than 2.0 per 10,000 occupied bed days for acute care public hospitals by 2011–12 in each state and territory. |
Further data development / collection required: | Specification: Interim Development of an ICD-10-AM coding for healthcare-acquired Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia. Development of detailed data specifications to support data flows for national reporting, quality improvement and potentially for other reporting requirements for the future. This will include consideration of coverage (all hospitals/all public hospitals/a subset of public hospitals; level of disaggregation; use of peer groups), choice of denominator and additional data items (e.g. to distinguish between cases acquired in private hospitals/public hospitals/non-hospital healthcare). |
Other issues caveats: | Disaggregations are subject to data quality considerations. Some disaggregations may result in numbers too small for publication. There are minor variations in the definitions used by jurisdictions and in the data collection arrangements they employ which will affect the calculation of values on a consistent basis across states and territories. |
