Veralgemeende of selectieve screening voor dragerschap van methicilline resistente Staphylococcus aureus bij opname op een geriatrische dienst

Abstract

With targeted MRSA screening on admission based on a risk score a substantial reduction of workload and costs is possible compared to generalized screening for MRSA. Because MRSA carriers can be missed with a risk score, the epidemiological context and the risk of transmission and infection with MRSA must be taken in to account when introducing a targeted screening.
