Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) technology implementation was associated with a 44% reduction in viral infection incidence among pediatric patients in a long-term care facility (incidence rate ratio, 0.56; 95% confidence interval, 0.37-0.84; P=.003). UV-C was included as an adjunct to standard cleaning protocols over a 12-month period; no other new interventions were introduced during this time. The results suggest that UV-C technology is a potentially important component of eliminating the environment as a source of viral infections.
紫外线-C(UV-C)技术的实施可使长期护理机构中的儿科患者的病毒感染发病率降低 44%(发病率比,0.56;95%置信区间,0.37-0.84;P=.003)。在 12 个月的时间里,将紫外线-C 作为标准清洁方案的辅助手段;在此期间,没有引入其他新的干预措施。结果表明,紫外线-C 技术是消除环境作为病毒感染源的一个潜在重要组成部分。
