      abstract = {Healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs) affect millions of  patients annually and are associated with substantial  morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. This study aims  to identify cases of HAIs using Oregon hospital discharge  data, estimate the statewide excess costs attributable to  these infections, and assess whether severity of illness  and comorbid conditions predict costs per HAI case. A  cross-sectional secondary analysis of hospital discharge  records was conducted to quantify the clinical and economic  burden of HAIs. Understanding the cost drivers associated  with HAIs may inform targeted prevention strategies and  support more efficient allocation of limited healthcare  resources.},
