| Abstract |
To determine the pooled prevalence and review the influencing factors of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal colonization in Chinese children. Articles published between January 2005 and October 2015 that studied prevalence or influencing factors of MRSA nasal colonization in Chinese children were retrieved from Chinese Biomedical Literature database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database, Chinese VIP database, Chinese Wanfang database, Medline database and Ovid database. Prevalence and influencing factors were analyzed by STATA 13.1. Thirteen articles were included. The overall prevalence of MRSA nasal colonization was 4.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.027-0.062). With an MRSA prevalence of 3.9% (95% CI: 0.018-0.061) in healthy children and 5.8% (95% CI: 0.025-0.092) in children with underlying medical conditions. Children recruited in the hospitals presented MRSA prevalence of 6.4% (95% CI: 0.037-0.091), which was higher than those recruited in the communities [2.7% (95% CI: 0.012-0.043)]. A number of influencing factors for MRSA nasal colonization were noted in three eligible studies: gender (male vs female; OR: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.55-0.82), younger age (OR: 2.98; 95% CI: 1.31-6.96 and OR: 1.56; 95% CI: 1.21-2.00), attending day care centers (OR: 2.97; 95% CI: 1.28-6.76), having infectious diseases (OR: 2.31; 95% CI: 1.10-4.52), using antibiotics (OR: 2.77; 95% CI: 1.45-5.05), residing in northern Taiwan (OR: 1.41; 95% CI: 1.15-1.71), passive smoking (OR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.02-1.63), and pneumococcal vaccination (OR: 1.22; 95% CI: 1.01-1.48). Children could act as reservoirs of MRSA transmissions. Hospitals remained the most frequent microorganism-circulated settings. More MRSA infection control strategies are required to prevent the dissemination among children. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 July 2016.
All research outputs
#20,336,031
of 22,881,154 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#174,253
of 195,160 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#318,478
of 364,404 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#3,930
of 4,376 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,881,154 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 195,160 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 364,404 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4,376 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
