by classifying each admission into a baseline diagnosis related group ( drg ) ( after first excluding all diagnoses of nosocomial infection ) and a final drg ( after including these diagnoses ) , we found that only 5 % to 18 % of nosocomial infections would have caused the admission to be reclassified to a higher-paying drg , depending on the extent to which physicians recorded nosocomial infection diagnoses in patients ' medical records .
