Further, most studies examining the effect of changes in ICU design are of a before/after design, or are performed in the context of an outbreak of resistant organisms and involve multiple infection control measures, meaning that the contribution of ICU design alone is impossible to determine [ 9].
Results of the sensitivity analysis are displayed in table 7 as 95% CIs for the outcomes measures, meaning that 95% of the simulations fell within the indicated ranges.
