Here we describe and analyze the results of a 3-year real-time surveillance study on the incidence of HAIs and the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of elderly inpatients in a large tertiary hospital in China. The incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in elderly patients was lower than in non-elderly patients, catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) were significantly more common in elderly patients, and central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rates were similar in both groups (Tables 2 and 3 ).	./cache/cord-004316-mnqn1t3q.txt	./txt/cord-004316-mnqn1t3q.txt
