Facility- and patient-level factors associated with implementation of contact precautions in hospitalized VA patients with positive CRE cultures. Antimicrobial stewardship & healthcare epidemiology : ASHE. 2024 May 3; 4(1):e76.
Decreasing the time to contact precautions (CP) is critical to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) prevention. Identifying factors associated with delayed CP can decrease the spread from patients with CRE. In this study, a shorter length of stay was associated with being placed in CP within 3 days.
