Control Study

This retrospective case-control study examined whether there was a difference in length of time awaiting long-term-care lacement for patients identified as having methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus compared to controls. Thirty-nine patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus waited for placement an average of 61 days longer than controls (P<.0002). The average number of requests for placement was 2.5 compared to 1.7 for controls (P=.015).

Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important pathogens of healthcare and long-term care-associated infections over the world, resulting high morbidity, mortality and extra costs in these settings. Aim: The authors analyze the prevalence and predisposing factors of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in long-term care facilities. Method: Systematic review using PubMed, ScienceDirect and Cochrane Library CENTRAL databases between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2015 was performed. Results: In the past ten years methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus prevalence in European long-term care facilities (12.6%) was lower than in North America (33.9%). The most frequent predisposing factor was previous antimicrobial therapy, hospital admission and infection/colonisation, chronic wounds, and high care need. Conclusions: Based on the results, the prevention and control of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is an important public health priority in the European and Hungarian long-term care facilities.

Care Facilities

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections emerged as a problem in acute-care hospitals in this country in the 1970s. However, as is true of most nosocomial infections, long-term care facilities have not been exempt from those issues that plague acute-care hospitals, and, indeed, bring their own peculiar circumstances to bear on the problem. Infection and colonization with MRSA has been no exception and has evolved as a major infection control issue within long-term care facilities. Aside from an early report of MRSA cultured from patients in a nursing home in Seattle, Washington in 1969, data on MRSA in long-term care facilities have appeared only recently. In spite of the dearth of information, many long-term care facilities established policies relating to MRSA in the early to mid-1980s; often these policies were developed in hopes of excluding MRSA from their facility, and for many reasons often have not helped solve the problems associated with MRSA in long-term care facilities.
