The Cost at a Glance

Patient Harm

Blood culture contamination has been reported to significantly increase length of stay (LOS), length of antibiotic treatment, hospital charges, acute kidney injuries (AKI), echocardiogram orders, and in-hospital mortality.

Unnecessary Antibiotics

Multiple studies show an increased use of unnecessary antibiotics with blood culture contaminations for ~7 days after the contamination.¹⁴

Delayed Diagnosis

Blood culture contaminations result in delays in obtaining the correct diagnosis and initiating appropriate therapy.¹⁴
