Abstract

Pediatric healthcare-associated respiratory viral infections (HA-RVI) were evaluated during four intervention periods using different visitation models. Allowing two visitors and requiring universal masking significantly decreased HA-RVI rates (P < .001). There was no significant difference in HA-RVI rates between periods restricting younger siblings versus periods allowing all siblings without seasonal/age restriction.

探视和普遍掩蔽对独立儿童医院卫生保健相关呼吸道病毒感染率的影响。

在四个干预期间使用不同的探视模式评估儿科保健相关呼吸道病毒感染（HA-RVI）。允许两名访客和要求普遍遮盖显著降低HA-RVI率（P < 0.001）。在限制年幼的兄弟姐妹与不受季节/年龄限制的所有兄弟姐妹之间，HA-RVI率没有显著差异。
