title = "Preventability of hospital onset bacteremia and fungemia: A pilot study of a potential healthcare-associated infection outcome measure",
abstract = "Hospital-onset bacteremia and fungemia (HOB), a potential measure of healthcare-associated infections, was evaluated in a pilot study among 60 patients across 3 hospitals. Two-thirds of all HOB events and half of nonskin commensal HOB events were judged as potentially preventable. Follow-up studies are needed to further develop this measure.",
