WARNING! EXTRAPOLATED STATISTICS ONLY! Not based on data sources from individual
countries. These statistics are calculated extrapolations of various prevalence or incidence rates against
the populations of a particular country or region. The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of Hospital
Acquired Infections are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian prevalence or incidence
statistics, which are then extrapolated using only the population of the other country. This extrapolation
calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial
or other differences across the various countries and regions.
