PROJECT: An infection transmission risk assessment (ITRA) tool was created on the nursing admission assessment form incorporating Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Guidelines for Isolation Precautions in Hospitals. The infection prevention committee approved the ITRA tool. The medical ...
In the absence of sufficient numerical data, qualitative risk assessment is recognised as an important tool for providing risk managers with evidence-based predictions on which to formulate their decisions. Such approaches have been used in the area of animal health for import risk assessment for bot...
Aim:to investigate knowledge, attitude and behaviour toward infection control in two teaching hospitals on the island of Java by means of a questionnaire and to evaluate the use of the questionnaire as a tool.

Infection risk was calculated using the Gammaitoni–Nucci (G-N) equation, a widely adopted method (Gammaitoni & Nucci, 1997) for indoor airborne infection risk assessment (e.g., influenza, tuberculosis, SARS-CoV-2). The G-N equation is a variation of an earlier model proposed by Wells-...

Because we thought that selection bias was a particularly important domain, instead of rating responses as yes vs no as in the original tool, we used 4 risk categories (very low, low, medium, and high). We performed meta-regression with regard to age, fever, use of perineal bags, and ...
