Staphylococcus aureus Bacteraemia in a Tropical Setting: Patient Outcome and Impact of Antibiotic Resistance
Figure 1
The burden of S. aureus bacteraemia is highest at the extremes of age, whilst mortality increased with age.
Age distribution and age-specific mortality rates and disease burden for 98 cases of S. aureus bacteraemia studied in Ubon Ratchathani, NE Thailand. Overall mortality increased significantly with age (p<0.001), analysing age as a continuous variable.
