    Document: Preventing respiratory illness in long-term care facilities: One high quality SR found mixed results for the effectiveness of hand hygiene to prevent infection with 2 studies reporting statistically significant positive results in favour of hand hygiene and 1 study reporting nonstatistically significant results. One moderate quality SR with meta-analysis found a moderate non-statistically significant effect in favour of personal protective equipment (PPE) in preventing infection. The same SR and meta-analysis also examined the effectiveness of social isolation to prevent infection and found no statistically significant results. One moderate quality SR reported statically significant evidence for the effectiveness of amantadine and amantadine + PPE to prevent the spread of viral respiratory infections in long-term care facilities.
