Abstract:
A unified surveillance mechanism for hand hygiene and hospital-acquired infections for pediatric wards is lacking in Europe. We managed to setup such a mechanism in 9 pediatric intensive care units in 7 European countries, using World Health Organization’s definitions and common methodology which allows for benchmarking among units and countries. Median hand hygiene compliance was found high 82.3% (interquartile range 71.6–94.5%), but gaps in practices were identified.
