Table 3 Frequency distribution of the probability of transmission between Patient A and Patient B for a range of hand hygiene compliance levels (assuming mean values for p, p', γ and λ of 0.10, 0.40, 0.40 and 0.83, respectively).
Hand hygiene compliance | Simulations resulting in a risk >1% [%] | Simulations resulting in a risk >5% [%] | Simulations resulting in a risk >10% [%] | Simulations resulting in a risk >15% [%] | Simulations resulting in a risk >20% [%] |
