Prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) isolates from children by health care setting, The Surveillance Network-USA database, 1999–2012. Health care setting was determined by patient location at the time a microbiological sample was collected. Data for patients <1 year of age were not available for all years and were excluded from this analysis. There was a significant positive quadratic trend for intensive care unit (ICU) (p = 1.1 × 10−18), outpatient (p = 8.6 × 10−26), and inpatient non-ICU (p = 5.0 × 10−11). There was no significant trend for the nursing home setting, which made up 0.34% of total isolates (Table 1).
