Article Synopsis
- Recent research indicates that detecting SARS-CoV-2 on hospital floors is linked to COVID-19 outbreaks, similar to findings in long-term care facilities.
- A study collected floor swabs from healthcare worker areas in two Ontario hospitals over 39 weeks, revealing a 71% positivity rate for SARS-CoV-2, with 90% in one hospital and 60% in another, alongside multiple outbreaks.
- The presence of viral copies on floors significantly predicted the likelihood of outbreaks, suggesting that monitoring floor contamination can enhance infection control and outbreak management in healthcare settings.

Int J Gynecol Cancer
November 2024
Objective: To determine the incidence of venous thromboembolism in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy in UK gynecological cancer centers. Secondary outcomes included incidence and timing of venous thromboembolism since cancer presentation, impact on cancer treatment, and mortality.
Methods: All UK gynecological cancer centers were invited to participate in this multi-center retrospective audit through the British Gynecological Cancer Society.
