Quarterly statistics for Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), Escherichia coli bacteraemia (ECB), Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) and Surgical Site Infection (SSI) in Scotland. Quarterly case numbers and denominator data are provided in order to calculate infection rates and SSI incidence for the 14 regional NHS boards and one Special NHS Board.
Please note data on Surgical Site Infections is not available for 2020, as surveillance of Surgical Site Infection was paused from 2020 Q1 onwards due to COVID-19.
