Connecticut Hospital Compliance - Detail

Surgery Patients Who Were Given an Antibiotic Within One Hour Before Surgery to Help Prevent Infection

Giving patients antibiotics right before surgery helps to boost the patient's ability to fight off contamination during surgery that could lead to infection. Studies show that patients given antibiotics either more than one hour before or after the first surgical incision is made experience higher rates of infection compared to those who are given antibiotics within one hour before surgery begins.

Connecticut Hospitals with Low Compliance for this Procedure

Low compliance describes hospitals that followed this infection prevention procedure 79 percent of the time or less. The compliance level of hospitals which report a small number of cases (fewer than 25) should not be regarded as reliably predicting performance; these hospitals are displayed in italics and include Note 1. "Patients" is the number of patients for which data was submitted. The change columns describe the change in compliance and the change in the number of patients as compared to the previous quarter. Click the hospital names to access detailed information. The chart below lists hospitals in order based on the number of patients sampled (hospitals serving the largest number of patients first). You can re-sort the table by clicking on the table headers.
