Abstract

We prospectively studied all cases of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia that occurred during an extensive outbreak of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in our hospital over a 4-year period (January 1990 through September 1993). We report the results of a comparative analysis of the clinical characteristics and mortality rates among patients with nosocomial bacteremia caused by MRSA (84 cases) or methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA; 100 cases). The patients with MRSA bacteremia were older than those with MSSA bacteremia (69 years vs. 54 years, respectively; P < .01) and were more likely than those with MSSA bacteremia to have the following predisposing factors: a prolonged hospitalization (32 days vs. 14 days, respectively; P < .01); prior antimicrobial therapy (61% vs. 34%, respectively; P < .01); urinary catheterization (58% vs. 27%, respectively; P < .01); nasogastric tube placement (31% vs. 13%, respectively; P < .01); and prior surgery (45% vs. 31%, respectively; P = .05). Multivariate analysis with use of the stepwise logistic regression method showed a relationship between mortality and the following variables: methicillin resistance (odds ratio [OR], 3), meningitis (OR, 13), and inadequate treatment (OR, 11).

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.
