Point prevalence survey of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial use in European acute care hospitals – 2022-2023
In 2022–2023, 28 EU/EEA countries and three Western Balkan countries (Kosovo*, Montenegro and Serbia) participated in the third ECDC point prevalence survey (PPS) of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial use in European acute care hospitals.
Data from a total of 1 623 hospitals were submitted to ECDC. Of these, 309 504 patients from 1 332 hospitals were included in the final European sample for analysis. Data from a single ward were collected on a single day. The total time frame for data collection for all wards of a single hospital was 11 days on average (median eight days). Aggregated results were only reported for the EU/EEA, corresponding to 293 581 patients from 1 250 hospitals.
*This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244/1999 and the ICJ Opinion on the Kosovo declaration of independence.
