As observed by univariate analysis, HBV infection and the following variables were statistically significant: haemodialysis total time, machine hygiene frequency, machine sterilization frequency, number of reuse of lines and dialysis equipments, number of patients per number of health-care workers and HCV infection.
In March 1900, Behrmann, Salomon and Hudicourt reported on a dysentery outbreak in Nippes, observing that "Poverty, the use of impure water, constipation, overwork, bad alimentation, the total absence of hygiene, and meteorologic conditions" were the causes of "this disease that is making so many victims".
A total of 1353 hand hygiene attempts were observed, accounting for 1246 unique hand hygiene opportunities, 227 coincident hand hygiene opportunities (in which a single attempt fulfilled more than one hand hygiene indication/opportunity), and 14% (1473/10894) of all hand hygiene opportunities.
Total compliance in hand hygiene significantly improved in both ICUs after the introduction in 2009 of the hand hygiene program (Tables 2 and 3).
We observed a total of 2464 hand hygiene opportunities during 2923 minutes of observation at baseline.
