Environmental cleaning intervention and risk of acquiring multidrug-resistant organisms from prior room occupantsRupak Datta
Division of Infectious Diseases and Health Policy Research Institute, University of California Irvine School of Medicine, 100 Theory, Ste 110, Irvine, CA 92697, USA
Arch Intern Med 171:491-4. 2011..Subsequently, a cleaning intervention was shown to reduce MRSA and VRE room contamination. We now evaluate the effect of this intervention on the risk of acquiring MRSA and VRE from prior room occupants...
What is nosocomial? Large variation in hospital choice of numerators and denominators affects rates of hospital-onset methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureusRupak Datta
Division of Infectious Diseases and Health Policy Research Institute, University of California Irvine School of Medicine, Irvine, California 92697, USA
Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 33:1166-9. 2012..Survey-reported denominators differed from state-reported patient-days. Numerator and denominator choices substantially impacted HO-MRSA rates...
Risk of postdischarge infection with vancomycin-resistant enterococcus after initial infection or colonizationRupak Datta
Division of Infectious Diseases and Health Policy Research Institute, University of California Irvine School of Medicine, Irvine, CA 92697, USA
Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 31:1290-3. 2010..Fifteen patients (8%) developed 27 VRE infections in the 18 months after detection. Among 10 postdischarge infections, 2 involved bacteremia and 3 resulted in readmission...
Colonization with antibiotic-susceptible strains protects against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus but not vancomycin-resistant enterococci acquisition: a nested case-control studySusan S Huang
Division of Infectious Diseases and Health Policy Research Institute, University of California Irvine School of Medicine, 100 Theory, Ste 110, Irvine, CA 92697, USA
Crit Care 15:R210. 2011....
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection and hospitalization in high-risk patients in the year following detectionSusan S Huang
Division of Infectious Diseases and Health Policy Research Institute, School of Medicine, University of California Irvine, Irvine, California, United States of America
PLoS ONE 6:e24340. 2011..None have assessed the comprehensive burden of MRSA infection in the period after hospital discharge while accounting for healthcare utilization across institutions...
Use of Medicare claims to rank hospitals by surgical site infection risk following coronary artery bypass graft surgerySusan S Huang
Department of Population Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 32:775-83. 2011..To evaluate whether longitudinal insurer claims data allow reliable identification of elevated hospital surgical site infection (SSI) rates...
Strain-relatedness of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates recovered from patients with repeated infectionSusan S Huang
Division of Infectious Diseases, University of California Irvine School of Medicine, Orange, CA 92868, USA
Clin Infect Dis 46:1241-7. 2008..We found that MRSA infection following initial colonization or infection is caused by the same strain in most cases, suggesting that a single successful attempt at decolonization may prevent the majority of later infection...
