Title: Back to basics: hand hygiene and isolation Document date: 2014_7_2
ID: q4nzhbvt_15
Snippet: In comparison, a single-centre cluster-randomized trial (RCT) in Canada failed to demonstrate a reduction in hospital-acquired MRSA colonization in their hand hygiene intervention arm compared with the control arm [27]. However, this was not unexpected, as hand hygiene adherence improved in both the intervention arm (15.9-48.2%) and the control arm (15.9-42.6%) during the intervention. This 'contamination' of the control group demonstrates one of.....
Document: In comparison, a single-centre cluster-randomized trial (RCT) in Canada failed to demonstrate a reduction in hospital-acquired MRSA colonization in their hand hygiene intervention arm compared with the control arm [27]. However, this was not unexpected, as hand hygiene adherence improved in both the intervention arm (15.9-48.2%) and the control arm (15.9-42.6%) during the intervention. This 'contamination' of the control group demonstrates one of the challenges of implementing a randomized controlled study involving behaviour change within a single institution. To improve on the simple beforeand-after study design, Kirkland et al.
