Researchers Find Four Prognostic Variables as Risk Factors for HA-MRSA Infection in ICU.
The researchers concluded that four prognostic variables were found to be risk factors for HA-MRSA infection in ICU: intubation, open wound, treatment with antibiotics, and steroid administration, all occurring within 24 hours of ICU admission. Preemptive infection control in patients with these risk factors might effectively decrease HA-MRSA infection. Their research was published in BMC Infectious Diseases.
