Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Intervention independent (ITS) ? Low risk  
Analysed appropriately (ITS) ? Low risk Re‐analysed
Shape of effect pre‐specified (ITS) ? Low risk Point of intervention was point of analysis.
Unlikely to affect data collection (ITS) ? Low risk Data from pharmacy and microbiology computers
Knowledge of the allocation adequately prevented(ITS)? Low risk Data from pharmacy and microbiology computers
Incomplete outcome data addressed (ITS) ? Low risk Data from pharmacy and microbiology computers
Free of selected reporting (ITS) ? Low risk Data from pharmacy and microbiology computers
Free of other bias (ITS) ? High risk < 12 months' data in the pre‐intervention (5 months) and postintervention (7 months) phases
Microbial Risk of Bias LOW: case definition Low, planned intervention Low, other infection control Low
