Abstract
We performed a cross-sectional study using routine healthcare data in a Dutch tertiary hospital between January 1st 2015 and August 1st 2019. MDRO risk assessment upon hospitalization included assessment of: known MDRO carriage, previous hospitalization in another Dutch hospital during an outbreak or a foreign hospital, living in an asylum centre, exposure to livestock farming and household membership of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus carrier.
