Abstract
- A quasi-experimental study performed in a pediatric hematology-oncology unit demonstrated that whole-room ultraviolet-C disinfection was associated with a significant reduction in hospital-onset Clostridioides difficile infection (P< .01, trend and level), but not healthcare-associated viral respiratory infections (P= .06 for trend, P= .36 for level) or central line-associated bloodstream infections (P> 0.75, trend and level).<br /> (Copyright © 2021.
