What is a standardized infection ratio? The standardized infection ratio (SIR) is a summary measure used to track healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) at a national, state, or local level over time. The SIR adjusts for patients of varying risk within each facility.

- The National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN)<br>

The SIR calculation In HAI data analysis, the SIR compares the actual number of HAIs reported (observed) with the baseline U.S. experience (predicted) adjusting for several risk factors that have been found to be significantly associated with differences in infection incidence.
SIR is a ratio that is a comparison of two values

SIR = number of observed HAIs
number of predicted HAIs<br>
