A seven year analysis with established adequate methods of reporting and confirming hospital acquired infections shows a surprising statistically significant relationship between the frequency of hospital acquired infections and the number of infected patients admitted to this hospital: hospital acquired infections comprised 2% to 3.7% of all admissions, and patients already infected admitted were 5.3% to 8.4%. Surgical wound infections were the most frequent acquired infections. Followed by respiratory infections and urinary tract infections. During the 7 years period there was a very pronounced drop in the number of cases with infectious diseases acquired inside the hospital and a fall in infections acquired after cardiac surgery.
一项为期七年的分析采用了既定的充分报告和确认医院获得性感染的方法，结果显示医院获得性感染的发生率与该医院收治的感染患者数量之间存在惊人的统计学显著关系：医院获得性感染占所有入院患者的2%至3.7%，而已经感染的入院患者占5.3%至8.4%。手术伤口感染是最常见的获得性感染。其次是呼吸道感染和尿路感染。在这七年期间，医院内获得的传染病病例数量有非常明显的下降，心脏手术后获得的感染也有所减少。
