The main objective of this protocol is to ensure standardisation of definitions, data collection and reporting procedures for hospitals participating in the national/regional surveillance of healthcare-associated infection (HAIs) in intensive care units (ICUs) across Europe, to contribute to the EU surveillance of HAIs and to improve the quality of care in ICUs in a multicentre setting. The protocol describes methods for the participating ICUs and the national coordinating centres for the surveillance of HAIs.
