The quality of reports meeting our eligibility criteria was assessed using the Modified <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">STROBE<\/jats:styled-content> criteria and assigned a score of 30. Mean differences (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MD<\/jats:styled-content>) and 95% confidence intervals (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content>) were reported for comparisons of study characteristics.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sixty\u2010four outbreak reports were available for analyses.
