Analysis reveals preventive measures affect infection control in healthcare-associated infections, suggesting updated policies are necessary.
Discontinuation of MRSA prevention practices during the pandemic was not consistently linked to increased HAIs after accounting for baseline burden. Findings emphasize the role of facility-specific factors and modeling assumptions in evaluating infection control. Unmeasured pandemic-related practices (e.g., masking, PPE use) likely also influenced transmission, highlighting the need for flexible, context-sensitive, evidence-based infection prevention policies.
