Resumen
GOMEZ RUIZ, María del Mar et al. Risk of sars-cov-2 infection in highly exposed health workers. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.1, pp.9-18. Epub 23-Mayo-2022. ISSN 3020-1160.
Objectives:
The present study makes it possible to establish the profile of the worker most susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection, describe seroprevalence and determine the presence of anosmia and / or dysgeusia.
Material and Methods:
A descriptive, cross-sectional, and retrospective epidemiological study was carried out for 263 days in an ICU of a tertiary hospital. One hundred forty-six workers from 11 different categories were included. The results of the diagnostic tests for infection were consulted, and a telephone interview was carried out.
Results:
Fifty-six workers were infected (39.4%). The risk of infection in healthcare workers was higher (OR 3.38). Nursing staff and shift workers had a higher infection rate (p = 0, 000). Anti SARS-CoV-2 (AntiN) IgG antibodies were detected for more than four months. 38.1% developed anosmia and/or dysgeusia with a recovery of 117.41 days on average.
Conclusions:
The data obtained may be of interest for assessing occupational risk against SARS-CoV-2 in the health field.
