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 |
