PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (1 January 2001) up to 3559 Days (30 September 2010)

Population: FAS included all participants who were admitted to veterans affairs hospitals between 1 January 2001 and 30 September 2010 (3559 days) with an ICD-9 code for MRSA and pneumonia.

Time to death (all-cause mortality) occurring within 30 days of treatment initiation was reported. Mortality was assessed from admission vital status databases.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (1 January 2001) up to 3559 Days (30 September 2010)

Population: FAS included all participants who were admitted to veterans affairs hospitals between 1 January 2001 and 30 September 2010 (3559 days) with an ICD-9 code for MRSA and pneumonia.

Time to therapy change was calculated from initiation of therapy (index date) to change in therapy (event date). Therapy change was defined as the discontinuation of linezolid or vancomycin and initiation of a different agent with activity against MRSA (clindamycin, daptomycin, doxycycline, linezolid, minocycline, tigecycline, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, vancomycin). As such, therapy change included switching from linezolid to vancomycin, switching from vancomycin to linezolid, or switching from either linezolid or vancomycin to another anti-MRSA antibiotic.
