Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary Outcome is the incidence of newly acquired MRSA in ICU.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary Outcomes are the incidence of newly acquired MRSA for 30 days after discharge from ICU, and the incidence of newly acquired multidrug-resistant bacteria in the patients who adapted our rules during ICU stay. The rules we made were to apply contact precaution not only to patients who had multidrug-resistant bacteria, but also to patients who entered ICU emergency, patients with history of infection of multidrug-resistant bacteria and patients who had to stay in ICU for a long time. Another rules started from this study period were to avoid using shared items among patients as much as possible (use disposable items), and to use a method that all of the patients had to been touched with properly disinfected "clean hands" without hand roughness. Data of patients who admitted in our ICU from May 2013 to December 2015 were used as Historical Control.	—
