Neighborhood-level income and MRSA infection risk in the USA: systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of neighborhood-level income on community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) risk remains poorly understood, despite established associations between MRSA risk and the social determinants of health. There are conflicting findings in the existing literature and no known systematic reviews based in the U.S. Our objective was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between neighborhood-level income and CA-MRSA in the U.S.
