  1. The results are disaggregated and compared by category of interested party (patient, clinician, manager). Data are given as media (DE)
  2. EBV evidence-based variable, WG working group, WS weighted sum, AHP analytic hierarchy process, PROM patient reported outcome measure, PREM patient reported experience measure, SD standard deviation
  3. Ratio of bacteraemia RC, Ratio of bacteraemia related catheter
  4. *p < 0.05
