Fig. 2 Assessment of noninferiority regarding methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus positivity of three-on-one-day nasal swab scheme compared to comparative standard scheme (with one swab per day for 3 days). Change (δ) of 15%, p 0.0023. One-sided test of proportion tested for noninferiority with significance level of 5% (one-sided 95% confidence interval on left side). N-I margin, noninferiority margin.
