Predictive values of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus nasal swabs for pneumonia in burn ICU patients

The high specificity and NPV indicate that negative MRSA nasal swabs obtained less than seven days from antibiotic initiation may be used to de-escalate anti-MRSA antibiotics in clinically stable burn-injured patients with suspicion of pneumonia. The decrease in NPV suggests that it may be beneficial to obtain a repeat swab periodically.
