Incidence and Relationship of Positive Preoperative Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Screens and Post-operative Infections

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

In brief

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of pre-surgical patients who are MRSA carriers. From an evidence-based practice perspective, findings from this study can be considered in the evaluation of the hospital SOP mandating pre-surgical MRSA screening requirements for patients with scheduled surgeries. The central hypothesis to be addressed in this study is whether the MRSA colonization and subsequent post-operative infection are the equivalent in these populations.
