Point prevalence survey database (HAI-Net)
The online database of the HAI-Net point prevalence survey (PPS) of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial use provides European reference data on HAIs and antimicrobial use in acute care hospitals in Europe. The reports of the database are provided through the European Surveillance System (TESSy). Data for the first EU-wide Point Prevalence Survey of HAI and antimicrobial use were collected over a period of 2 years (12 countries in 2011 and 21 countries in 2012) and are presented as a single period 2011-2012. Please refer to the PPS protocol for methodological details and to the PPS report for interpretation of the results.
