How do patients move within the Norwegian hospital system? A comprehensive ward- and hospital-level network analysis

2026-08-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Patient movements within and between hospitals create networks that can facilitate the spread of nosocomial infections. Many relevant pathogens have long-lasting carriage, allowing colonised patients to move through multiple wards across successive admissions, thereby indirectly linking wards. Yet system-wide ward-level analyses based on individual patient trajectories remain rare, even though t...
