1 Evaluating the Probability of Previously Unknown Carriage of MRSA at Hospital Admission 
Stephan Harbarth, MD, MS, Hugo Sax, MD, Carolina Fankhauser-Rodriguez, MS, Jacques Schrenzel, MD, Americo Agostinho, RN, Didier Pittet, MD, MS  The American Journal of Medicine  Volume 119, Issue 3, Pages 275.e e23 (March 2006) DOI: /j.amjmed Copyright © 2006 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Probability of previously unrecognized carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on admission. Application of the full risk score to the population of 1006 patients included in the case-controlled study. Indicated under the graph are the average probability of previously unrecognized MRSA carriage and the proportion of patients in each probability category (low probability defined as a score of 0 and 1, intermediate probability defined as a score of 2-4, and high probability defined as a score of ≥5).
