OBJECTIVE
To evaluate epidemiologic factors that can be used to predict lack of measles immunity in healthcare workers.
DESIGN
During mandatory screening of employees for measles antibody, a questionnaire was used to collect demographic information.
SETTING
Inpatient hospital, acute care clinics, and skilled nursing facility of a health maintenance organization.
PARTICIPANTS
Employees of all ages and occupations.
RESULTS
Measles immunity could not be predicted from history of measles disease and vaccination, gender, or birthplace. Of nonimmune employees, 63.7% were in the 20- to 29-year-old age group and 26.5% were in the 30- to 39-year-old age group.
CONCLUSIONS
Age is the most clinically significant predictor of measles antibody, especially in persons born after 1950, who make up a large group susceptible to measles.
目的
评估可用于预测医护人员麻疹免疫力缺乏的流行病学因素。
设计
在对员工进行麻疹抗体强制筛查期间，使用问卷收集人口统计学信息。
地点
健康维护组织的住院医院、急症护理诊所和专业护理机构。
参与者
所有年龄和职业的员工。
结果
无法根据麻疹病史、疫苗接种史、性别或出生地预测麻疹免疫力。在无免疫力的员工中，63.7% 为20至29岁年龄组，26.5% 为30至39岁年龄组。
结论
年龄是麻疹抗体最具临床意义的预测因素，尤其是在1950年后出生的人群中，这部分人群是易感染麻疹的庞大群体。
