Abstract
The authors respond to concerns about the variability in MRSA screening and decolonization protocols among trial sites, noting that while 75.6% of patients underwent screening, approaches varied. They acknowledge limitations regarding the generalizability of their findings to patients with known MRSA colonization but highlight a prespecified subgroup analysis addressing the risk of infection in these patients.
