50 Statistics on State CAUTI Rates

The following are the standardized infection ratios — observed to expected infection rates — for catheter-associated urinary tract infections for every state (except Wyoming) and Washington, D.C.

SIRs that are less than one indicate the state had fewer CAUTIs than would have been predicted. SIRs greater than one indicate infection rates were higher than would be predicted.

Here, states are listed from smallest to largest SIR, or from the states with the lowest infection rates to the highest infection rates as compared with expected infection rates.

Note: States' SIRs show their individual progress in reducing CAUTIs and are not meant to compare actual CAUTI rates among states. Data was updated April 16 and comes from CMS' Hospital Compare database.
