In general, studies implementing vancomycin reduction as the sole intervention to control VRE were less successful than those implementing additional VRE control strategies, although there may have been too few studies to detect a significant difference between groups.
Future research using high-quality study designs and implementing vancomycin as the sole intervention are needed to answer this question.
Future research using experimental designs of higher quality and implementing vancomycin use reduction as the sole intervention is needed to answer this question.
Among the six studies that implemented vancomycin reduction strategies as the sole intervention, two of six (33%) found a significant reduction in VRE colonization and/or infection.
While the previous design relied on Micro Strip Gas Chamber MSGCC) and silicon detectors, the new layout implements solid state sensors as the sole technological choice.
Nearly a decade after implementing the policy of voluntary, anonymous blood donations as the sole source of blood in India, replacement donation still accounts for more than 50% of all donated blood (Copeman 2009c).
Interestingly, of six studies that used vancomycin restriction as the sole intervention, only two showed a significant reduction in VRE acquisition, whereas of the seven that implemented antimicrobial drug restriction plus infection control, five showed a significant VRE acquisition reduction.
In the Canadian province of British Columbia, the responsibility for designing and implementing experiential sites falls to the University of British Columbia's (UBC) Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences as the sole post-secondary institution graduating pharmacists.
You cast yourself as the sole coolheaded man in Gomorrah.
