The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in new, non-orthopedic roles for many members of our New York City based orthopedic department, including redeployment to medicine wards, emergency departments, and intensive care units. The purpose of this study was to determine if certain areas of redeployment predisposed individuals to higher likelihood of positive diagnostic or serologic testing for COVID-19.
In this study, attendings, residents, and phy-sician assistants within our orthopedic department were surveyed to determine their roles during the COVID-19 pandemic and whether they were tested via diagnostic or serologic methods for detecting COVID-19. Additionally, symptoms and missed days of work were reported.
No significant association between redeployment site and rate of positive COVID-19 diagnostic (p = 0.91) or serologic (p = 0.38) testing was detected. Sixty individuals responded to the survey, with 88.3% of respondents rede-ployed during the pandemic. Nearly half (n = 28) of those redeployed experienced at least one COVID-19 related symptom. Two respondents had a positive diagnostic test, and 10 had a positive serologic test.
Area of redeployment during the COVID-19 pandemic is not associated with an increased risk of subse-quently having a positive diagnostic or serologic COVID-19 test.
SARS-CoV-2（COVID-19）大流行导致我们位于纽约市的骨科部门的许多成员承担了新的非骨科角色，包括重新部署到内科病房、急诊室和重症监护病房。本研究的目的是确定某些重新部署领域是否使个人更有可能对 COVID-19 进行阳性诊断或血清学检测。
在这项研究中，我们骨科部门的主治医生、住院医生和医师助理接受了调查，以确定他们在 COVID-19 大流行期间的角色，以及他们是否通过诊断或血清学方法检测 COVID-19。此外，还报告了症状和错过的工作日数。
重新部署地点与 COVID-19 诊断（p = 0.91）或血清学（p = 0.38）检测的阳性率之间没有显著关联。有 60 人对调查做出了回应，其中 88.3%的受访者在大流行期间被重新部署。将近一半（n = 28）的重新部署者经历了至少一种与 COVID-19 相关的症状。有两名受访者的诊断检测呈阳性，有 10 名受访者的血清学检测呈阳性。
在 COVID-19 大流行期间的重新部署区域与随后进行的阳性诊断或血清学 COVID-19 检测的风险增加无关。
