Registered outcomes5
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Number of Participants With Postoperative Healthcare Acquired Infections | 30-day after surgery | Patients with a prior infection and/or preexisting decolonization will be included and will be expected to be equally distributed between study groups given the randomized study design. For HCAI analysis, only new infection sites and/or a different organism of infection will be considered a new HCAI, per NHSN definitions. |
| Secondary | Hospital Re-admission Rates | Within 30 days of discharge | Readmission to the hospital within 30 days of discharge |
| Secondary | Mortality | Within 30 Days of discharge | Patient Mortality |
| Secondary | Hospital Duration | 30 days after surgery | Duration of Hospital Stay |
| Other | Hand Hygiene Events Per Hour Utilizing the Device | During active OR cases | The number of times non-scrubbed personnel (anesthesia providers and circulating nurses) perform hand hygiene during OR cases for the treatment group. |
