• Description:
  The topic of this Journal Club is a commentary on the article "Risk factors for MRSA colonization in the neonatal ICU: a systematic review and meta-analysis" by Washam et al. from the Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Eleven studies that reported risk factors for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization using noncolonized controls in subspecialty level III or IV neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) were included in the systematic review and 10 articles underwent meta-analysis. The findings of the study indicate that the most commonly reported risk factors for MRSA colonization in this sample were gestational age <32 weeks and verylow birth weight (<1,500 g). Infant sex, race, inborn status, and delivery type were not significantly associated with colonization. [Description provided by NIOSH]
