This article presents and compares coronavirus disease 2019 attack rates for infection, hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission and death in healthcare workers (HCWs) and non-HCWs in nine European countries from 31 January 2020 to 13 January 2021. Adjusted attack rate ratios in HCWs (compared with non-HCWs) were 3.0 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.2-4.0] for infection, 1.8 (95% CI 1.2-2.7) for hospitalization, 1.9 (95% CI 1.1-3.2) for ICU admission and 0.9 (95% CI 0.4-2.0) for death. Among hospitalized cases, the case-fatality ratio was 1.8% in HCWs and 8.2% in non-HCWs. Differences may be due to better/earlier access to treatment, differential underascertainment and the healthy worker effect.
本文比较了 2020 年 1 月 31 日至 2021 年 1 月 13 日期间,9 个欧洲国家医护人员(HCWs)和非医护人员(non-HCWs)感染、住院、入住重症监护病房(ICU)和死亡的 COVID-19 发病率。医护人员(与非医护人员相比)的调整发病率比(感染)为 3.0 [95%置信区间(CI)2.2-4.0],住院为 1.8(95% CI 1.2-2.7),入住 ICU 为 1.9(95% CI 1.1-3.2),死亡为 0.9(95% CI 0.4-2.0)。在住院病例中,医护人员的病死率为 1.8%,而非医护人员的病死率为 8.2%。差异可能归因于更好/更早获得治疗、差异未确诊和健康工人效应。
