Abstract
Background: We investigated trends in Staphylococcus aureus (staph) bacteremia incidence stratified by methicillin susceptibility (methicillin-susceptible S. aureus [MSSA] vs. methicillin-resistant S. aureus [MRSA]) and onset designation (community-onset [CO] vs. hospital-onset [HO]).
Methods: We evaluated the microbiological data among adult patients who were admitted to 267 acute-care hospitals during October 1, 2015, to February 28, 2020. Using a subset of data from 41 acute-care hospitals, we conducted a retrospective cohort study to assess patient demographics, characteristics, mortality, length of stay, and costs. We also conducted a case-control study between those with and without staph bacteremia.
Results: The incidence of MSSA bacteremia significantly increased from 2.43 per 1,000 admissions to 2.87 per 1,000 admissions (estimate=0.0047, P-value=.0006). The incidence of MRSA significantly increased from 2.11 per 1,000 admissions to 2.42 per 1,000 admissions (estimate=0.0126, P-value <.0001). While the incidence of CO MSSA and CO MRSA demonstrated a significant increase (p=0.0023, and p < 0.0001), the incidence of HO MSSA and HO MRSA did not significantly change (p=0.2795 and p < 0.4464). Compared to those without staph bacteremia, mortality, length of stay, and total cost were significantly higher in those with staph bacteremia, regardless of methicillin susceptibility or onset designation.
Conclusion: The increasing incidence of CO MSSA and MRSA bacteremia might suggest the necessity for dedicated infection control measures and interventions for community members colonized with or at risk of acquiring Staphylococcus aureus.
