Document: Topic 3: Patient room size/proximity between patients and healthcare-associated infections/colonization While including studies that investigate healthcareassociated colonization with MDRO or infection with any type of pathogen by analyzing the size of a patient's hospital room and the physical proximity between patients, we excluded studies that examined surface contamination with infectious agents in patient rooms. We also eliminated studies, in which overcrowding was examined as a risk factor, since such studies reported data from outbreak situations or analyzed data irrelevant to our research question.
