[Cost/benefit calculations of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus screening methods and their practical importance].

Abstract:

:Nosocomial infections are the main cause of extra charges in health care and they relate to patient safety, as well. About 30 percent of healthcare-associated infections can be prevented effectively with infection control and adequate screening methods. Currently, meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is the main nosocomial pathogen. Protective measures against this bacterium are well known, therefore it was selected for our present cost /benefit analysis. We have calculated the costs of the epidemic caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus at the Aladar Petz County Teaching Hospital, Gyor, in a two-year period, and also calculated the costs of the screening method. We compared our results with the published data. Screening methods are much less expensive than to cure the patient of a nosocomial infection. Thus, primary prevention has essential importance.
