Summary: | The emergence of nosocomial multidrug-resistant
is an escalating public health threat worldwide. The prevalence of nosocomial infections due to
was recorded up to 10%. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, which were conducted according to the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, 1092 articles were screened from four databases of which 47 studies fulfilled the selected criteria. By performing a random-effect model, the pooled prevalence of nosocomial multidrug-resistant
was estimated at 32.8% (95% CI, 23.6-43.6), with high heterogeneity (I
98.29%,
-value < 0.001). The estimated prevalence of this pathogen and a few related studies were discussed, raising awareness of the spread of multidrug-resistant
in the healthcare setting. The emergence of nosocomial multidrug-resistant
is expected to increase globally in the future, and the best treatments for treating and preventing this pathogen should be acknowledged by healthcare staff. |
