The impact of universal glove and gown use on <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> acquisition, a cluster randomized trial

2022-04-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Importance</h4> Clostridioides difficile is the most common cause of healthcare-associated infections (HAI) in the US. It is unknown whether universal gown and glove use in intensive care units (ICUs) decreases acquisition of C. difficile . <h4>Objective</h4> To assess whether wearing gloves and gowns for all patient contact in the ICU decreases acquisition of C. difficile compared with usual...
