Abstract
Background: The detection rate of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is on a rapid rise. The seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model is extensively employed in predicting the infectious diseases incidence. We hypothesized CRKP detection rates showed seasonal patterns.
Methods: Data on the annual and monthly detection rates of CRKP for all inpatients in the affiliated hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from 2013 to 2024 were collected retrospectively. Annual data were used to identify the annual trends in CRKP detection rates. Monthly data from 2013 to 2023 were used as the training set to establish the SARIMA model, and monthly data from 2024 were used for testing to evaluate the model's predictive performance.
Results: CRKP had an annual detection rate of 32% on average, with a linear decrease during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022) (χ2= 44.652, P < .001). The time-series of monthly CRKP detection rates displayed long-term fluctuations and seasonal patterns, with the SARIMA (0,1,1)(0,1,1)12 model providing the best fit (BIC = 4.504, stationary R² = 0.371), and showing a reasonable prediction accuracy (MAPE = 29.26%). High-incidence periods for CRKP were observed in January, February, and May of each year.
Conclusions: The SARIMA model holds value in CRKP detection rate prediction, but the prediction performance needs to be improved.
