Bacteremic Pneumonia Due to Staphylococcus aureus: A Comparison of Disease Caused by Methicillin-Resistant and Methicillin-Susceptible Organisms
Abstract
We performed a prospective study of all patients with bacteremic pneumonia due to Staphylococcus aureus over a period of 6 years during an outbreak of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Patients with bacteremic pneumonia due to MRSA (32 cases) or methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA; 54 cases) were compared. The patients with MRSA pneumonia were older and were more likely than those with MSSA pneumonia to have predisposing factors for acquisition of the infection. There were no differences in clinical findings, radiological pattern, or complications in clinical evolution among patients with MRSA and MSSA pneumonia. Mortality was significantly higher among MSSA-infected patients treated with vancomycin than among those treated with cloxacillin (47% vs. none; P<.01). Multivariate analysis (stepwise logistic regression method) showed a relationship between mortality and the following variables: septic shock (odds ratio [OR], 61), vancomycin treatment (OR, 14), and respiratory distress (OR, 8).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
