ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS EPIDEMIC ON THE DRISCOLL CHILDREN'S HEALTH PLAN
Abstract
Cellulitis and abscess accounted for increasing percentages of inpatient (4.6-11.1%), outpatient (0.6-1.2%) and total (1.7-3.3%) expenses from 2001 through 2004. The per member per month expenses attributed to cellulitis and abscess increased from $0.74 in 2001 to $1.19 in 2004. The epidemic of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in children has had a significant economic impact on the Driscoll Children's Health Plan.

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.
