Abstract

In the United States, the incidence of osteoarticular infections among hospitalized children increased 15% from 2.07 to 2.38 cases per 1000 admissions from 1997 through 2012. The incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-coded infections increased from 0.02 to 0.36 cases per 1000 admissions. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus-coded cases had a larger number of therapeutic procedures, longer hospital stays and higher hospital charges.
