| Popis: | Being capable of predicting MRSA on ICU admission is crucial to enhance infection control and to avoid inappropriate empirical treatment. Two objectives were studied: to describe risk factors for MRSA colonization/infection (MRSA-C/I) once admitted to the ICU; and to develop a predictive model at ICU admission, based on easy-to-obtain admission factors. |
