Fig. 2 Comparison of the incidence rate ratio of CLA-BSI/1000 catheter days (cd) in an adult ICU and episodes of CR-BSI/1000 admissions (ad). MIC, microbiology laboratory; ICU, intensive care unit; a, admissions; cd, catheter days. *The slope of annual IRR compared with 2003 was adjusted using linear regression. These slopes are presented with a 95% CI. **Grade matching was performed by the Poisson model.
