Sentence examples for importation pressure from inspiring English sources

Importation pressure was important in determining nosocomial rates of CC22 and CC30 at almost all levels, whereas association with CC5/other strains was mostly at high importation pressures (>6.24 MRSA+ admissions/1000 OBDs).

Similarly, decline in importation pressure during universal surveillance suggested interruption of connections between prevalence of MRSA in hospital and community populations, focused in frequently admitted patients.

MRSA prevalence at admission (importation pressure) steadily declined during the period of universal surveillance, averaging 3.1%, with 1.7% known to be previously colonised or infected with MRSA.

An attempt to identify and prevent selection and performance bias was made by identifying and controlling for, changes in case-mix, importation pressure, 47 48 and other aspects of care, 22 before and after the intervention.

Trends in strain-specific importation pressures coincided with the strain dynamics seen among clinical isolates.

Importation pressures followed trends in related hospital prevalence densities, with less consistent and sizeable associations with community or ICU trends.

These factors may include: age and comorbidities in the clinical population; baseline rates of MRSA; existing strain distributions; importation pressures; 50 and interactions with other populations.

Applying the strain distribution from this typing to the total MRSA positive admission swabs per month provided time-series for strain-specific importation pressures for general hospital and ICU environments.

33 Other covariates included: MRSA admission screening intensity (admissions screened/1000 OBDs); total and strain-specific importation pressures (admissions colonised or previous MRSA/1000 OBDs); mean length of stay (days) and bed-occupancy in hospital populations.

Lower importation pressures, expanded MRSA admission screening, and reductions in macrolide and third generation cephalosporin use (thresholds for association: 135 141, and 48 81 defined daily doses/1000 OBDs, respectively) were followed by declines in all clonal complexes.

Granger causality tests and Vector Error Correction (VEC) models confirmed significant temporal associations between prevalence density of strains in ICU, hospital and community populations and strain-specific importations pressures (figure 5).
