7 CDC vs WHO SSI Guidelines CDC Excluded all non randomized studies Often no recommendation offered or listed or not addressed due to inadequate evidence Referred recommendations Moved to adapted GRADE for recommendations WHO Included randomized and some non-randomized studies Excluded bundled interventions Less often no recommendation Recommendations pertinent to low and middle income settings

8 Quality of Studies Quality High High-moderate Moderate Low-moderate Low Low-Very low Very low Accepted practice CDC WHO

9 Pre-op Recommendations Topic CDC WHO Pre-op bathing Hair removal Bathe or shower with plain or antimicrobial soap or antiseptic the night before Do not remove unless hair will interfere; if necessary remove immediately preop with clippers Bathe or shower with plain or antimicrobial soap; no recommendation on CHG cloths Do not remove; if necessary use clippers Surgical prophylaxis When indicated by guidelines; time so concentration in serum/tissues is bactericidal at incision Before incision when indicated

10 Pre-op Recommendation Strength and Quality Topic CDC WHO Pre-op bathing with soap or antiseptic Hair removal Surgical prophylaxis timing Hand preparation Skin preparation Skin sealants I-B Strong recommendation/ Accepted Practice I-A; re-emphasized from 1999 document I-B Strong recommendation/ Accepted Practice I-B; re-emphasized from 1999 document I-A Strong recommendation (ETOH- I or ETOH-CHG) II- Weak recommendation/low Conditional recommendation/ Moderate Strong recommendation/ Moderate Strong recommendation/ Low Strong recommendation/ Moderate Strong recommendation/ Low-Moderate (Only ETOH-CHG) Conditional recommendation/ Very low

24 Ward Closure for Outbreak Control in Acute Care Hospitals Amer J Infect Contr 45: :

25 Ward Closure For Outbreak Control Nosocomial Outbreaks However, there was no significant change in the number of patients affected per hospital outbreak (r = 1.080, P = 0.517), or the number of hospital staff affected per outbreak (r = 0.651, P = 0.105). Closure of entire wards during norovirus outbreaks is not always necessary. The changes implemented at the study hospital resulted in a significant reduction in the number of bed-days lost per outbreak, and this, together with a reduction in outbreak frequency, resulted in considerable cost savings. Illingworth E et al. Is closure of entire wards necessary to control norovirus outbreaks in hospital? Comparing the effectiveness of two infection control strategies. J Hosp Infect 2011;79:32-7.
