For all those interesting in air cleaning in hospitals, my colleagues at Addenbrooke's have just published this paper in JHI journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S0195-… #COVIDー19 #Covid_19 #SARSCoV2 #CovidIsAirborne

Pleased to have some of AAirDS finally in print. TL;DR - ACUs were acceptable to older inpatients w mod noise disturbance reported. Compliance (ACUs on) reduced towards the end of the study. Compliance mirrored stringency of other IPC mitigations. journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S0195-…

Great to see this first results report from AAirDS out (main paper to follow). Important results. When we showed that HEPA cleared #Covid_19 from the air people said “just implement it, don’t study it” and we said “it’s important to see to implement it”. Well here we are👇

The clinical results of the Addenbrooke's air cleaning study have now been published in JHI sciencedirect.com/science/articl…. You can find out more at mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/news/new-evide…. Very pleased for all my colleagues who put in a lot of hard work. Well done. #Covid #COVIDisAirborne #SARSCoV2

"having Air Cleaning Units in place was associated with a 22% lower risk of hospital-acquired COVID-19 virus infection, during a hospital stay" "A larger study would be needed to confirm results as there was large uncertainty in this finding" mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/news/new-evide…
