Associations of hospital characteristics with nosocomial pneumonia after cardiac surgery can impact on standardized infection rates

To identify hospital-level factors associated with post-cardiac surgical pneumonia for assessing their impact on standardized infection rates (SIRs), we studied 43 691 patients in a cardiac surgery registry (2001–2011) in 16 hospitals. In a logistic regression model for pneumonia following cardiac s...
