The incidence of healthcare-associated viral respiratory infections in a pediatric hospital decreased from 1.6 /1,000 patient-days in 2019 to 0.2 /1,000 patient-days in 2020 (P < .01), and this was maintained in 2021 despite an increase in community circulation of respiratory viruses. Universal masking, stricter infection control measures, and pandemic public health interventions likely accounted for this improvement.
在一家儿童医院，与医疗保健相关的病毒性呼吸道感染的发生率从 2019 年的每 1000 名患者 1.6 例下降到 2020 年的每 1000 名患者 0.2 例（P<0.01），尽管呼吸道病毒在社区中的传播有所增加，但这一趋势在 2021 年仍得以维持。普遍佩戴口罩、更严格的感染控制措施和大流行公共卫生干预措施可能是导致这一改善的原因。
