Brief results

2018

Jalalzaï et al. [30]

Unicentric, retrospective, uncontrolled before-and-after study

524 SCP

545 non-SCP with SP

ICU-acquired ESBL-E infections

ICU deaths

No independent impact on ESBL-E infections of cessation of admission screening (adjusted OR 1.16, 95% CI 0.38–3.50, p = 0.79)

nor on in-ICU death (SHR 1.22, 95% CI 0.93–1.59, p = 0.15)

Prospective non-inferiority before-and-after study

1547 CP 1577 SP

ICU-acquired ESBL-E fecal carriage

Incidence densities respectively during CP and SP:

2.7 (95% CI 1.78–3.62), 2.06 (95% CI 1.27–2.86) per 1000 patient-days; p 0.004 for non-inferiority
