==Notes==
 
* ICU associated BSI: BSI is not present on admission to ICU.  The patient must have been in the ICU for 48 hours for the BSI to be considered ICU associated, unless compelling evidence suggests the infection was ICU associated.
* BSI onset during ICU stay or within 48 hours of leaving the ICU.
===== Discussion =====
* If these are relevant they should be included in the criteria rather than as notes hidden near the end. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 23:32, 7 October 2008 (CDT)
* How comfortable can we be that we would catch BSI onsets after leaving the ICU. I don't think we can, so this definition is problematic. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 23:32, 7 October 2008 (CDT)
