Abstract
A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between Infection Prevention and Control Assessment Framework scores and the incidence of health care-associated infections in tertiary hospitals in Eastern China. The results indicate that hospitals with Infection Prevention and Control Assessment Framework scores above 700 have a lower incidence rate of health care-associated infections (1.31%; 95%CI, 1.15%-1.47%) compared to those with scores below 700 (1.90%; 95%CI, 1.60%-2.21%).
