#' To conduct an analysis of antimicrobial resistance, you should only include the first isolate of every patient per episode \href{https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17304462}{[1]}. If you would not do this, you could easily get an overestimate or underestimate of the resistance of an antibiotic. Imagine that a patient was admitted with an MRSA and that it was found in 5 different blood cultures the following week. The resistance percentage of oxacillin of all \emph{S. aureus} isolates would be overestimated, because you included this MRSA more than once. It would be \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_bias}{selection bias}.
#'
#' \strong{Using parameter \code{points_threshold}} \cr
#' To compare key antibiotics, the difference between antimicrobial interpretations will be measured. A difference from I to S|R (or vice versa) means 0.5 points. A difference from S to R (or vice versa) means 1 point. When the sum of points exceeds \code{points_threshold}, an isolate will be (re)selected as a first weighted isolate.
#' \strong{DETERMINING WEIGHTED ISOLATES} \cr
#' \strong{1. Using \code{type = "keyantibiotics"} and parameter \code{ignore_I}} \cr
#' To determine weighted isolates, the difference between key antibiotics will be checked. Any difference from S to R (or vice versa) will (re)select an isolate as a first weighted isolate. With \code{ignore_I == FALSE}, also differences from I to S|R (or vice versa) will lead to this. This is a reliable and fast method. \cr
#' \strong{2. Using \code{type = "points"} and parameter \code{points_threshold}} \cr
#' To determine weighted isolates, difference between antimicrobial interpretations will be measured with points. A difference from I to S|R (or vice versa) means 0.5 points. A difference from S to R (or vice versa) means 1 point. When the sum of points exceeds \code{points_threshold}, an isolate will be (re)selected as a first weighted isolate. This method is being used by the Infection Prevention department (Dr M. Lokate) of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG).

\strong{WHY THIS IS SO IMPORTANT} \cr
To conduct an analysis of antimicrobial resistance, you should only include the first isolate of every patient per episode \href{https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17304462}{[1]}. If you would not do this, you could easily get an overestimate or underestimate of the resistance of an antibiotic. Imagine that a patient was admitted with an MRSA and that it was found in 5 different blood cultures the following week. The resistance percentage of oxacillin of all \emph{S. aureus} isolates would be overestimated, because you included this MRSA more than once. It would be \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_bias}{selection bias}.
\strong{Using parameter \code{points_threshold}} \cr
To compare key antibiotics, the difference between antimicrobial interpretations will be measured. A difference from I to S|R (or vice versa) means 0.5 points. A difference from S to R (or vice versa) means 1 point. When the sum of points exceeds \code{points_threshold}, an isolate will be (re)selected as a first weighted isolate.
\strong{DETERMINING WEIGHTED ISOLATES} \cr
\strong{1. Using \code{type = "keyantibiotics"} and parameter \code{ignore_I}} \cr
To determine weighted isolates, the difference between key antibiotics will be checked. Any difference from S to R (or vice versa) will (re)select an isolate as a first weighted isolate. With \code{ignore_I == FALSE}, also differences from I to S|R (or vice versa) will lead to this. This is a reliable and fast method. \cr
\strong{2. Using \code{type = "points"} and parameter \code{points_threshold}} \cr
To determine weighted isolates, difference between antimicrobial interpretations will be measured with points. A difference from I to S|R (or vice versa) means 0.5 points. A difference from S to R (or vice versa) means 1 point. When the sum of points exceeds \code{points_threshold}, an isolate will be (re)selected as a first weighted isolate. This method is being used by the Infection Prevention department (Dr M. Lokate) of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG).
