COVID-19–related hospital admissions and CRB incidence rates in 2020 in study of effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on incidence and epidemiology of CRB, Spain. We compared the incidence rates for COVID-19-related hospital admissions with rates for CRB each month during 2020. We calculated the COVID-19 incidence rates by dividing the total number of COVID-19 admissions by the total number of patient-days. We calculated CRB incidence rates by dividing the total number of episodes of catheter-related bloodstream infections by the total number of patient-days. CRB, catheter-related bacteremia.
