Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
A rational economic framework is used to inform efficient infection control policy relating to the prevention of CR-BSI in Queensland Health intensive care units and the findings show that the use of any of the four A-CVCs will result in health gains accompanied by cost-savings.
