of heterogeneity were explored through

Egger’s test.23 For time trends, model

stricted to studies providing data on
MRSA infections, we calculated the
relative risk of infection among colo-
nized compared with noncolonized on
admission patients. For our statistical
analysis, we used the Stata v11 software
package (Stata Corporation, College
Station, TX) and MetaXL (EpiGear In-
ternational Ltd, Queensland, Australia).
The significance threshold was set
at .05.
RESULTS
Our electronic database search yielded
2433 nonduplicate abstracts, and the
date of our last search was October 10,
2013. Among these studies, 82 were
initially considered eligible by title and

full text was retrieved and assessed for
study inclusion. Of these, 17 studies met FIGURE 1
