Audit and feedback as a tool to increase compliance with carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) screening and decrease CPE transmission in the hospital.
Article in Infection control and hospital epidemiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo increase compliance with carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) screening through real-time audit and feedback in our hospital and decrease CPE transmissions.
designA before-and-after trial, using active enhanced surveillance of CPE carriers.
settingA 500-bed, secondary, university-affiliated hospital that serves a population of 450,000 in a northern district in Israel.
methodsThe study was conducted during 2016-2019 and included patients who were admitted to the hospital and fulfilled CPE screening criteria upon admission and during prolonged hospitalizations. On January 1, 2017, the infection control team implemented a new strategy of real-time feedback toward compliance with in-hospital screening guidelines. Other infection control measurements were performed without interventions. The primary outcome was compliance with appropriate CPE screening. Secondary outcomes included CPE acquisition and compliance with hand hygiene and contact precaution practices. Data were analyzed to calculate differences between compliance with CPE screening during the study period and to test the correlation between contact precautions and hand hygiene practices according to compliance with CPE screening.
resultsDuring the study period, 3,131 patients were eligible for CPE screening. We detected a statistically significant increase in compliance to CPE screening from 74% during 2017 to 92% in 2018 and 95% in 2019 (
conclusionAudit and feedback can improve appropriate CPE screening and may reduce CPE transmission in the hospital.
