The table that I'd like to make does not display fractions with enough space between lines. What's the reasoning for this? (Not enough rep to be able to post a picture yet unfortunately.)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{lcccc}
\toprule
\textbf{Care type} & $\mathbb{P}(Pat \cap H)$ & $\mathbb{P}(Pat \cap H')$ & $\mathbb{P}(Pat' \cap H)$ & $\mathbb{P}(Pat' \cap H')$\\
\midrule
Direct care &$\displaystyle \dfrac{58}{197}$ & $\displaystyle \dfrac{48}{197}$ & $\displaystyle \dfrac{21}{197}$* &$1-\displaystyle \dfrac{58}{197}$ \\
Housekeeping &$\displaystyle \dfrac{12}{17}$ & $\displaystyle \dfrac{2}{17}$ & $\displaystyle \dfrac{5}{17}$* &$1-\displaystyle \dfrac{12}{17}$\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\caption{Probabilities of hand hygiene given direct patient contact}
\label{tab:handwash_given_pat}
\end{table}
\end{document}
Edit: Image added and MWE completed.

Manually the spacing can be fixed by several methods:
\renewcommand*{\arraystretch}{2}
(see Herbert's comment)However, this also affects the spacing of the other lines.
Adding a vertical space in the optional argument of
\\
, e.g.:Adding an invisible rule in the line, e.g.:
