Otros artículos/Other articles on this topic (Evidence Aid)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, hand hygiene has been one of the primary recommendations. In this rapid systematic review, the authors searched for the effectiveness of programmes that promoted community-based hand hygiene to improve health outcomes. They searched until August 2021 for controlled experimental studies published in English. The authors included 12 randomised trials from Bangladesh, Egypt, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Thailand, and the USA (4). All of the included studies assessed hand hygiene activities for influenza, nine were included in the meta-analyses. In a school setting, preventive hand hygiene led to a significant decrease in influenza cases between epidemics, and hourly hand sanitising reduced absenteeism among kindergarten children during an influenza epidemic.
