Abstract
SIR—Thank you for the opportunity to again highlight the importance of our clinical investigation, which evaluated gown use as a means to prevent the transmission of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in a medical intensive care unit [1]. The curiosities raised by Golan and Snydman [2] allow for an important review of logistic regression and data analysis. We emphasize 7 follow-up comments to our article [1].Keywords
