As the second part of the above survey, we wish to evaluate the self-reported compliance to the use of PPE during the current influenza pandemic among critical care clinicians in Chinese ICUs, as well as independent predictors of the compliance. In this survey of Chinese critical care clinicians, only 55% of respondents reported high compliance (.80%) to recommended PPE use, consistent with other relevant studies [16, 19] . Despite the lack of data validating such concept with regards to 2009 H1N1 influenza in ICU, studies did suggest that implementation of protocoled care and/or educational program, by addressing knowledge, attitude, and behavioral barriers, might significantly reduce catheter-related bloodstream infection [31] , and improve mortality in patients with severe sepsis [32] . Only 55% of Chinese critical care clinicians reported high compliance to PPE use during pandemic influenza, putting HCWs and their patients at risk.	./cache/cord-294591-793ywpcd.txt	./txt/cord-294591-793ywpcd.txt
