The goal of their study was to improve existing processes by applying machine-learning and graph-theoretical methods to a nosocomial outbreak investigation. Risk factors for being a VRE carrier were identified, along with 3 important links with VRE (healthcare personnel, medical devices, patient rooms). The author concludes that data science is likely to provide a better understanding of outbreaks, but interpretations require data maturity, and potential confounding factors must be considered."}
