Models accounted for clustering at the resident and NH level. Variables were entered into the model unless there was evidence of collinearity.

Only significantly associated variables are shown. Model also adjusts for resident characteristics including gender, age, length of stay, diabetes status, history of VRE, presence of wounds, and presence of a central venous catheter. Model also adjusts for NH characteristics including mean Elixhauser comorbidity score, occupancy ratio, CMS 5-star quality rating, mean ADL index, and proportion of residents whose primary insurance is Medicare (% Medicare).

% Medicaid refers to the proportion of residents whose primary insurance is Medicaid.

Only significantly associated variables are shown. Model also adjusts for gender, length of stay, history of MRSA, history of ESBL, presence of a GI device, presence of wounds, facility mean ADL index, facility percentage Medicare-insured, and facility percentage Medicaid-insured.
