Description
Hyun Bin Kim and co-authors detail a 2026 field test of a records-based tool that flags patients likely to carry drug-resistant gut bacteria on hospital entry. The bacteria, called CRE, resist carbapenem antibiotics.
The tool scored every admission at two Atlanta hospitals from June 2024 to March 2025 using current and past stay data. Of 853 patients approached, 342 agreed to stool or swab testing, and 11 carried CRE. Carriers had higher median risk scores than non-carriers, and the model's accuracy was modest. The team priced a screening program at the best cutoff to inform hospital policy.
