Determinants of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) prevalence in the Asia-Pacific region: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: The resistance proportions and prevalence of MRSA infections in the Asia Pacific is comparable to those reported in other regions with no significant secular changes in the past decade. Country income status and the characteristics of the sample population explained more variations in the reported resistance proportions and prevalence of MRSA than methodological differences in AST across locations in the Region.

“…The World Bank collates information on 10,000+ standardized metrics across all world countries over time ( 6 ). Various previous works showed significant correlations between AMR prevalence and socioeconomic factors for a large number of countries, including LMICs (19 to 103 countries per study) ( 7 15 ). Examples of socioeconomic determinants of AMR prevalence are the income status of individual countries ( 8 ), the extent of their out-of-pocket health expenditure ( 7 ), and poor governance and corruption ( 11 ).…”

“…Within Asia, MRSA infections have been prevalent, reaching a peak in the late 1900s and thereafter remaining at a plateau amid the 2000s with an estimation of about 70% of hospitalacquired (HA) S. aureus infections between 2004-2006(Chen and Huang, 2014, Song et al, 2011. Due to the high population and resource limitations, there is a high risk of the spread of infectious diseases in Asia including MRSA infection (Lim et al, 2019).…”

“…In another study, conducted in 26 public hospitals in Hong Kong between January 2010 and December 2012, an increasing rate of MRSA was reported 38. In a recent meta-analysis report from Asia Pacific regions, the proportion of MRSA among all tested samples was reported to be up to 39% and the proportion of MRSA among all S. aureus isolates was reported to be up to 89% 39. Multi-drug-resistant S. aureus, including MRSA, can easily spread from the hospital setting to the community and within the community and poses additional problems for infection control strategies 40.…”
