Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Bloodstream Infections : surveillance results 2014–2015

From April 1, 2014, to March 31, 2015, 88 healthcare facilities participated in the surveillance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infections, for a combined total of 4,689,050 inpatient days (Table 1). Together, these facilities reported 95 cases of healthcare-associated MRSA. The incidence rate was 0.20 / 10,000 patient-days. This incidence rate has declined over the past five years but has stabilized this year. The proportion of methicillin resistance in healthcare-associated S. aureus bloodstream infections was 17.8%. Data was extracted on May 20th, 2015 and updated on June 1st 2015 for complications

At the local level. in 2014-2015, the incidence rate of healthcare-associated MRSA bloodstream infections ranged from 0 to 1.26 / 10,000 patient-days. The incidence rate for the past five years of surveillance is shown in Table 7. Significant variations compared to 2013-2014 are also indicated.

Overall. 4 facilities (4.5%) exhibited a significant decrease in the incidence rate of healthcare-associated MRSA bloodstream infections per 10,000 patient-days compared to the 2013-2014 surveillance year, whereas 6 facilities (6.8%) exhibited a significant increase in this incidence rate. Furthermore, in 2014-2015, the incidence rate of healthcare-associated MRSA bloodstream infections per 10,000 patient-days in health region of Chaudière-Appalaches significantly decreased as compared to 2013-2014.
