2) Data are provisional as they may be updated in year. Data are collected at Trust level and are not published by the HPA for individual hospitals within a Trust.
3) Denominators for 2005 and 2006 are based on the estimate derived for January-December 2004, correcting for the fact that 2004 was a leap year. Rates will be updated when more recent HES data become available in a suitably processed form, as case numbers may be affected by changing activity levels within Trusts.
4) Trusts are required to report all toxin positive results for C. difficile infections that are detected by laboratories in their Trust (in patients aged 2 or more years). This does not necessarily imply that the infection was acquired there; neither is it always possible to distinguish with the current dataset, between hospital and community acquired infections. We have already identified in this publication where the patient was when the specimen was taken (separation of hospital/community specimens). Further information for hospital and community onset case episodes will be introduced shortly.
5) Changes in the published rates for CDAD attributable to acute Trusts will be more reliably assessed separate estimates are derived for hospital and community rates of CDAD.
6) Rates are affected by such factors as size of Trust, services offered, population served, the use of antibiotics, as well as the strain of C. difficile.
7) Rate information is of use for comparison of performance by an individual Trust over time. Rate information, using rate calculations as currently defined, is not appropriate for comparison of CDAD rates between Trusts. The denominator presently used in Trust rate calculations relates to bed days in their acute setting, therefore the specimens tested by a Trust from outside of their acute setting e.g. community hospitals, nursing homes will increase their rate. There is currently no appropriate denominator that can be easily identified to reflect both community hospital bed admissions and the population that attends other community healthcare facilities including primary care.
*Bed days were calculated using Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data for January-December 2004. For each episode within a trust where the patients age at the start of the episode was 65 or more years , the episode start date was subtracted from the episode end date to produce an episode length in days. These were then totalled over the trust.
**Bed days for twelve months calculated by multiplying the 2004 figure by 365/366
† Rate does not include trusts with incomplete data
