Re-estimating annual deaths due to multidrug-resistant organism infections
2019
Overview
To the Editor—Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are responsible for an increasing number of infections each year.1 An oft-cited statistic is that MDRO infections cause>2 million illnesses and 23,000 deaths each year in the United States.1 However, the true burden of MDRO infections remains uncertain due to insufficient national reporting rates and an absence of ICD-10 codes specifically for MDRO infections. [...]we sought to provide an updated estimate of deaths due to MDRO infections in the United States. With rampant overuse of antibiotics, establishment of MDRO breeding and transmission centers (long-term acute-care hospitals and nursing facilities), and increasing rates of iatrogenic immunosuppression, the population at risk for MDRO infections and the likelihood of drug resistance will continue to increase.
