It is vital to know which healthcare personnel (HCP) have a higher chance of testing positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19).
A retrospective analysis was conducted at Stanford Children's Health (SCH) and Stanford Health Care (SHC) in Stanford, California. Analysis included all HCP, employed by SCH or SHC, who had a COVID-19 reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test resulted by the SHC Laboratory, between March 1, 2020 and June 15, 2020. The primary outcome was the RT-PCR percent positivity and prevalence of COVID-19 for HCP and these were compared across roles.
SCH and SHC had 24,081 active employees, of which 142 had at least 1 positive COVID-19 test. The overall HCP prevalence of COVID-19 was 0.59% and percent positivity was 1.84%. Patient facing HCPs had a significantly higher prevalence (0.66% vs 0.43%; P = .0331) and percent positivity (1.95% vs 1.43%; P = .0396) than nonpatient facing employees, respectively. Percent positivity was higher in food service workers (9.15%), and environmental services (5.96%) compared to clinicians (1.93%; P < .0001) and nurses (1.46%; P < .0001), respectively.
HCP in patient-facing roles and in support roles had a greater chance of being positive of COVID-19.
了解哪些医护人员(HCP)检测出严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(COVID-19)呈阳性的几率更高至关重要。
在加利福尼亚州斯坦福的斯坦福儿童健康(SCH)和斯坦福健康保健(SHC)进行了回顾性分析。分析包括 2020 年 3 月 1 日至 6 月 15 日期间,在 SHC 实验室进行过 COVID-19 逆转录酶聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测的 SCH 或 SHC 雇用的所有 HCP。主要结局是 HCP 的 RT-PCR 阳性率和 COVID-19 的患病率,并对这些数据进行了角色间的比较。
SCH 和 SHC 共有 24081 名在职员工,其中 142 人至少有 1 次 COVID-19 检测呈阳性。HCP 的 COVID-19 总患病率为 0.59%,阳性率为 1.84%。与非直面患者的员工相比,直面患者的 HCP 患病率(0.66%比 0.43%;P=0.0331)和阳性率(1.95%比 1.43%;P=0.0396)均明显更高。餐饮服务人员(9.15%)和环境服务人员(5.96%)的阳性率均高于临床医生(1.93%;P<0.0001)和护士(1.46%;P<0.0001)。
直面患者的 HCP 和支持性岗位的 HCP 检测出 COVID-19 阳性的几率更高。
