Table 3 Factors associated with hand washing following Clostridium difficile exposure by multivariate analysis, Jewish General Hospital, Canada, April 2012- March 2013

Characteristic	Adjusted OR	95 % CI	P
Proper timing of glove removal upon exiting patient zone	14.87	1.93–114.43	0.01
Distance between patient zone and sink	0.90	0.84–0.97	0.008
Number of 90° turns to reach the sink	0.78	0.44–1.37	0.78

Analysis performed on 211 hand hygiene observations. Only observations during which healthcare workers wore gloves were included in the analysis. 36 observations (15 %) were excluded from the analysis due to missing data
