Background
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a difficult to treat infection, particularly in residents of elderly care centers (ECCs). Despite the substantial burden of MRSA, an inadequate number of studies have analyzed MRSA prevalence in ECCs.
Objectives
We conducted a worldwide systematic review and meta-analysis on the prevalence and risk factors of MRSA in ECCs.
Methods
