Prediction models for diagnosis and prognosis of the colonisation or infection of multidrug-resistant organisms in adults: A systematic review, critical appraisal, and meta-analysis

Prediction models help target patients at risk of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) colonisation or infection and could serve as tools informing clinical practices to prevent MDRO transmission and inappropriate empiric antibiotic therapy. However, limited evidence identifies which among the available models are of low risk of bias and suitable for clinical application.
