Did you know?…
On average, patients with a HCAI have been found to be approximately 7 times more likely to die in hospital than uninfected patients. It is estimated that as many as 5,000 patients die every year in the UK as a direct result of HCAI and it is one of the factors in a further 15,000 deaths.
As well as affecting patients, HCAI is also a severe burden on the NHS. These infections are costing the NHS an estimated £1 billion a year and they are having a major impact on the availability of beds because infected patients have to spend, on average, an extra 11 days in hospital. Furthermore, infected patients cost 3 times more to treat than uninfected patients and infections are becoming complicated to treat because of an increase in antimicrobial resistance.
