Data from the National Inpatient Sample demonstrate that methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)–related septicemia hospitalizations increased from 1.67 (95% CI, 1.63–1.72) to 1.94 (95% CI, 1.88–2.00; Ptrend < .001) discharges per 1000 hospitalizations between 2016 and 2019. Regionally, the trends were similar. Rates of MSSA-related septicemia and pneumonia hospitalizations also increased significantly over this time period.
