[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS CtR0x97A. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. Antibiotic resistance is a significant global problem, but the trends in prevalence and impact of antibiotic resistance in hospitalizations in the United States are unclear. We evaluated the trends in hospitalizations associated with antibiotic-resistant infections in U.S. hospitals from 1997 to 2006. Methods. We analyzed the National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) during 1997-2006 (unweighted n=3.3 million hospitalizations ; weighted n=370.3 million hospitalizations) and examined trends in prevalence of hospitalizations with antibiotic-resistant infections, length of stay, and discharge status. Results. The number of infection-related hospitalizations with antibiotic resistance increased 359% during the 10-year period, from 37,005 in 1997 to 169,985 in 2006. The steepest rise was seen among individuals
