A prevalence rate of 8.5% in 1995 contributed to 14,500 days of extra stay in the hospital. The direct economic consequences of hospital infections was 40 to 50 million Norwegian kroner ($6-$7 million). The extra direct cost per infected patient was 14,300 Norwegian kroner ($2,200). Hospital infections are generating high extra costs and morbidity in countries with good general health care and with few problems with resistant bacteria.
