Interventions in healthcare-associated infection: researchers urged to CONSORT with ORION.
The ORION (Outbreak Reports and Intervention studies Of Nosocomial infection) statement has been prepared by a group of investigators with the expressed purpose of increasing the quality of research and reporting in the area of nosocomial infection. It is hoped that publication of the ORION statement will aid investigators in the design, performance and reporting of studies in this area, and will encourage journals and research councils to incorporate it into their submission and reviewing processes.
