Parameter Estimates and Confidence Intervals for Model Parameters Obtained from Pooling Across Intensive Care Unit–Specific Estimates

Pooled Parameter Estimates^a
	Pooled Estimate (95% Confidence Interval)
Model Parameter	Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus	Vancomycin- Resistant Enterococci
Transmission rate	0.05 (.04–.06)	0.07 (.07–.08)
Importation probability	0.18 (.16–.20)	0.22 (.19–.24)
Clearance rate	0.03 (.03–.04)	0.02 (.02–.03)
Surveillance sensitivity	0.66 (.62–.71)	0.68 (.65–.71)

^aAlthough primary analysis was done using Bayesian methods, secondary analysis included meta-regression, which provided confidence intervals (CIs) rather than credible intervals. Additionally, rounding of the estimates and CIs resulted in the point estimates occasionally taking the same value as an endpoint of the CI.
