Adherence rate of quality‐of‐care indicators for Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia is extremely low in Japanese emergency and critical care departments: a multicenter retrospective observational study

摘要

Aim Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia causes significant morbidity and mortality and requires specific management to prevent complications. Most studies evaluating quality of care have been carried out in Europe and North America, and accurate epidemiological data are lacking in Asia. We aimed to describe the epidemiology and evaluate the quality of care for S. aureus bacteremia in Japan.
