抗菌装置通常用于预防医院感染，尽管关于其功效的证据不一。通过一项全国性调查，我们发现，医院使用抗菌器械预防一种类型的感染与使用类似器械预防不同感染的可能性更高有关。
Antimicrobial devices are often used to prevent nosocomial infection, despite mixed evidence as to their efficacy. Using a national survey, we found that a hospital's use of an antimicrobial device to prevent one type of infection was associated with a higher likelihood that a similar device would be used to prevent a different infection.
