CDC requests approval for a non-substantive change to OMB Control No. 0920-0852, “Prevalence Survey of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) and Antimicrobial Use in U.S. Acute

Care Hospitals.”

CDC seeks to add two new supplementary documents to the approved ICR:

• Attachment M – “Methodology for estimating national prevalence for OMB 0920-0852.” This document pulls from the article Multistate Point-Prevalence Survey of Health Care–Associated Infections to describe the method used to generate estimates of the national burden of healthcare-associated infections.

• Attachment N – Multistate Point-Prevalence Survey of Health Care–Associated Infections by Shelley S. Magill, M.D., Ph.D., Jonathan R. Edwards, M.Stat., Wendy Bamberg, M.D., Zintars G. Beldavs, M.S., Ghinwa Dumyati, M.D., Marion A. Kainer, M.B., B.S., M.P.H., Ruth Lynfield, M.D., Meghan Maloney, M.P.H., Laura McAllister-Hollod, M.P.H., Joelle Nadle, M.P.H., Susan M. Ray, M.D., Deborah L. Thompson, M.D., M.S.P.H., Lucy E. Wilson, M.D., and Scott K. Fridkin, M.D., published in the N Engl J Med 2014; 370:1198-1208.

This article explains how CDC uses the results of this particular survey to generate estimates of the national burden of HAIs in acute care hospitals through the use of a modeling process that accounted for selected predictors of infection prevalence, including age and length of stay, and application of the results of this modeling to the NIS, a nationally representative sample of U.S. community-hospital stays. 

These requested changes will not have any impact on the burden estimate for OMB control no. 0920-0852.
