a MRSA admission prevalence was dichotomized at the median value (15%).
b The presence of an indwelling device was collinear with the proportion of residents with fecal incontinence.
c High social engagement score was defined as greater than or equal to 3 out of 6.
d In the transmission model, the percentage of residents with diabetes was collinear with the percent of residents with less than a high school education.
