The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has just released a new report, "Australian hospital statistics 2011-12: Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia in Australian public hospitals." The report presents national information on cases of SAB associated with care provided by public hospitals for 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012.
In 2011-12, all states and territories had rates of hospital-associated Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) below the national benchmark, with rates ranging from 0.7 to 1.3 cases per 10,000 patient days. There were 1,734 cases of hospital-associated SAB reported for Australia, which occurred during approximately 18.5 million days of patient care.
