HPV type at one visit but the detection of it at the next consecutive visit, acknowledging that this definition may reflect new or re-infection, or reactivation39. Clearance of any HPV type was observed in most participants (477/737; 64.7%; Fig.2). Compared to those who remained HPV negat...
The only exception to this definition is our usage of close out data in system A, which is collected at a temporal granularity too low for consideration by a recent window. For these predictors, we use the close out data from the most recently completed production cycle as predictors as in ...
Nosocomial infection in neonates: Revised definition based on presumed maternal sourcedoi:10.1016/S0196-6553(05)80027-6American Journal of Infection Control
Our findings aim to provide prevalence estimates and to describe associations between risk factors and FGS and HPV infection to inform control strategies for FGS and CC, align the country with the global health agenda, and promote overall improvement of women’s health....
Hospital tap water is a potential source of pathogenic bacteria associated with nosocomial infections. Infection control should include preventive measures to reduce the risk of waterborne infection. The efficiency of point-of-use water filters in infection control was assessed in the intensive care unit...
