Recognition that an individual's job could affect the likelihood of contracting coronavirus disease 2019 created challenges for investigators who sought to understand and prevent the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Considerable research resources were devoted to separating the effects of occupational from nonoccupational risk factors. This commentary highlights results from studies that adjusted for multiple nonoccupational risk factors while estimating the effects of occupations and occupational risk factors. Methods used in these studies will prove useful in future infectious disease epidemics and pandemics and may potentially enrich studies of other occupational infectious and noninfectious respiratory diseases.
人们认识到，个人的工作可能会影响感染 2019 年冠状病毒病的可能性，这给试图了解和预防严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 传播的研究人员带来了挑战。研究人员投入了大量资源来区分职业和非职业危险因素的影响。本评论重点介绍了在估计职业和职业危险因素的影响的同时，调整了多个非职业危险因素的研究结果。这些研究中使用的方法在未来的传染病流行和大流行中可能会证明是有用的，并且可能会丰富其他职业性传染性和非传染性呼吸道疾病的研究。
