Surveillance for health care–associated infections, antimicrobial resistant organisms and antimicrobial use in Canadian long-term care homes: A cross-sectional survey
Despite differences in the scope of surveillance activities, mechanisms to measure the burden of HAIs and AROs in this setting exist and may provide the foundation for future national surveillance activities. Generalizability to all Canadian LTCHs is uncertain due to possible sampling, non-response, and social desirability biases.
