Relevant Learning Points:
Learning Point #9: There is wide variation in the diagnostic efficiency among CPQCC NICUs (number of babies empirically treated per proven EOS-associated bloodstream infection). It ranges from 11 to 336 babies. This can’t be computed for ~1/3 of NICUs because they reported zero EOS cases (despite treating many babies for it). Each unit should consider which range of rates is “right”.
