*Risk ratio using binomial regression (family: binomial, link: log) accounting for clustering at the health facility level (GEE). Hyphens indicate where parameter was not estimable.
†Indicates that a Poisson regression (family: Poisson, link: log) was used due to the failure of the binomial model to converge.
HCW, healthcare worker; IPC, infection prevention and control.
