Prevalence and demographic correlates of Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) colonization in patients undergoing total knee replacement
This study found a low MRSA prevalence (0.7%) in TKR patients, with all cases occurring in individuals aged ≥60 years. The findings advocate prioritizing preoperative screening in older patients to optimize resource use in low-prevalence settings and highlight the need to investigate TKR-specific risk factors for tailored infection control strategies.
