Introduction: The periodic monitoring of Legionella in hospital water networks allows preventive measures to be taken to avoid the risk of legionellosis to patients and healthcare workers.

Study Design: The aim of the study is to standardize a method for predicting the risk of Legionella contamination in the water supply of a hospital facility, by comparing Machine Learning, conventional and combined models.

Methods: During the period July 2021- October 2022, water sampling for Legionella detection was performed in the rooms of an Italian hospital pavilion (89.

Pathogenic microorganisms released onto the soil from point or diffuse sources represent a public health concern. They can be transported by rainwater that infiltrates into subsoil and reach the groundwater where they can survive for a long time and contaminate drinking water sources. As part of the SCA.
