Table 2 Pearson weighted correlation coefficients for the hospital (or community) prevalence and: the pair sizes, hospital and community populations of risk groups i in a steady state, respectively \(H_i^*\) and \(C_i^*\), the average proportion of high-risk patients in a hospital \(p_{HR}\) and the total population of the high-risk group \(G_2\).

  1. The weights correspond to the pair sizes. Hosp. prev. general stands for the percent of colonised individuals in the hospital; Hosp. prev. LR – the percent of colonised low-risk individuals in the hospital; Hosp. prev. HR – the percent of colonised high-risk individuals in the hospital.
