Where to find most current statistics?

I am having trouble finding the latest statistics on acquired pressure ulcers in long term care facilities, the additional facility costs involved for the acquired PUs, and the lawsuit costs/outcomes. I am finding data that is more than 5 years old which is not considered current for research. I thought it would be easy to find, but guess I am getting brain blocked on where else to look. I tried the CDC, Cinahl, and pub med, but I seem to be spinning my wheels for information 5 years ago or less. Also the same for blood borne infections? Can anyone point me to the right resources? Thanks!

    Studies take a long time to put together, and write up. Could be just not a lot of stuff published lately. Have you tried searching for ongoing research or current studies, rather than just statistics?

    I saw an article about the state of New Mexico suing a nursing home for not staffing adequately by calculating number of aides vs. minutes calculated to be needed for turning and changing etc. Maybe that would give you some links to what you need.
