Methicillin-Resistant and Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus Hospitalizations: National Inpatient Sample, 2016-2019

Abstract

Data from the National Inpatient Sample demonstrate that methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-related septicemia hospitalizations increased from 1.67 (95% CI, 1.63-1.72) to 1.94 (95% CI, 1.88-2.00; Ptrend < .001) discharges per 1000 hospitalizations between 2016 and 2019. Regionally, the trends were similar. Rates of MSSA-related septicemia and pneumonia hospitalizations also increased significantly over this time period.
