“…17 Additionally, VRE infection was associated with several comorbid diagnoses and procedures that can be broadly grouped into conditions involving immune suppression and extensive health care and antibiotic exposure. VRE infection was associated with increased duration and cost of hospitalization.…”

“…This differs from the results of other studies of VRE epidemiology, which identify the Northeast as having the most VRE hospitalizations in all age groups. 17,29 These geographic differences in VRE prevalence could be related to strain variation or hospital-unique antibiotic prescribing practices and infection control procedures. The association of VRE with public insurance payer type may be related to longer hospital stays or may be a true health care disparity.…”

“…To avoid misclassification bias, we did not include studies that used ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes (V09.80, V09.81, 041.04) to define VRE infection [30][31][32][33][34]. Administrative coding was designed for billing not 13 research.…”

“…Furthermore, due to the high capability to develop resistance, MRSA strains with reduced susceptibility to vancomycin have been isolated (6) . It is known that MRSA prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns have substantial geographical variation (7) . In the United States, the results from the Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring in Ocular Microorganisms (ARMOR) study showed a prevalence of 39% of MRSA among all S. aureus ocular isolates and a considerable increase in the resistance rates to fluoroquinolones (8) .…”
