Table 3.
Odd ratios of hand hygiene compliance by night versus morning shift and by observed units.
| Unit | Morning shift compliance | Night shift compliancea | Odds ratio | 95% CI | P value | ||
| Yes | No | Yes | No | ||||
| A | 40 | 11 | 14 | 6 | 1.56 | 0.48-5.0 | .45 |
| B | 29 | 2 | 11 | 4 | 5.27 | 0.84-32.9 | .07 |
| C | 52 | 17 | 11 | 4 | 1.11 | 0.31-3.95 | .86 |
| D | 21 | 11 | 16 | 5 | 0.59 | 0.17-2.06 | .41 |

| H | 18 | 4 | 13 | 7 | 2.42 | 0.58-10.03 | .22 |
| All units | 218 | 59 | 105 | 39 | 1.37 | 0.86-2.18 | .18 |
aNight shifts were considered adverse exposure and we assumed compliance would be lower during night hours.
