Description

The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was determined in relation to the disease and four risk factors (being ridden, tubal feeding, decubitus, vesical indwelling catheterization) selected mainly from ADL (activities of daily living) in a National Sanatorium where bedridden inpatients of advanced age were common. It was found that 14.8% of all inpatients were positive for MRSA, and that 63.4% of the positive patients were bedridden. This indicate that the prevalence of MRSA is particularly among bedridden patients of advanced age.
