Interventions to improve hand hygiene compliance in patient care
TL;DR: The quality of intervention studies intended to increase hand hygiene compliance remains disappointing and although multifaceted campaigns with social marketing or staff involvement appear to have an effect, there is insufficient evidence to draw a firm conclusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Despite early diagnosis by NBS and protocol-driven treatment in specialist centres, abnormal lung function, with increased ventilation inhomogeneity and hyperinflation and diminished airway function, is evident in many infants with CF diagnosed through NBS by 3 months of age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of isolation on hospitalised patients who are infectious: systematic review with meta-analysis
TL;DR: It is indicated that isolation to contain the risk of infection has negative consequences for segregated patients, and the evidence is weak, comprising primarily single-centre convenience samples, although consistency of the effects may strengthen this conclusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The methods used to undertake observation in intervention studies seeking to increase compliance were so poorly described in most studies that it is difficult to accept the findings as reliable or as valid indicators of health worker behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is concluded that although hand hygiene is of undoubted importance, undue emphasis should not be placed on it as a 'quick fix' to solve the unacceptably high rates of healthcare-associated infection in National Health Service hospitals.
