For this diagram, three categories of screening (universal admission screening, targeted screening, and no screening) and three categories of isolation practices were distinguished.
The most commonly identified enterobacteriaceae on screening (admission and discharge swabs combined) were Escherichia coli (75.6% [65.9-85.3%]), followed by Enterobacter cloacae (5.2% [0.1-10.1]), Citrobacter freundii (5.1% [0.1-10.1]), morganiila morganii (3.8% [-0.5-8.2] [-0.5-8.2] [-0.5-8.2]is (2.6% [-1.0-6.2]).
Cost volumes in the antenatal stage consist of direct medical costs (e.g. prenatal checkups, costs of screening, admission due to threatened preterm birth, transport of patients to perinatal centres, and maternal monitoring [various lab tests; hospital care]).
As part of several hospital-based studies [ 14, 15], we screened admission logs to identify adults admitted for asthma or COPD exacerbations at four university-affiliated medical centers (The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, The University of Chicago Medical Center, and Mercy Hospital and Medical Center).
Detailed information regarding why cultures were taken (e.g., screening admissions, outbreak investigations) and other clinical and epidemiologic data were limited.
The national CMAM guidelines focus on treatment protocols and require expansion to discuss cultural adaptation, gender and equity, IYCF, and programme performance monitoring and to clarify screening, admissions and referral procedures.
All patients should be screened on admission (i.e., universal screening), and we assume that compliance to this screening scenario is 88% (based on UMCU data) [ 10].
During the intervention phase, 9250 (75.3%) of 12 279 patients were screened on admission to wards in the screening and decolonisation arm.
29 Case-mix remained stable between periods of selective screening and universal admission screening (table 4).
Electronic laboratory records were screened to identify admission screening swabs, previous or current MRSA colonisation or infection, episodes of SAB and location of sampling.
