Health-care workers in gastrointestinal endoscopy are at higher risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to other aerosol-generating disciplines

2021-09-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Objective</h4> Healthcare workers (HCW) are at high risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection due to exposure to potentially infectious material, especially during aerosol-generating procedures (AGP). We aimed to investigate the prevalence of infection among HCW in medical disciplines with AGP. <h4>Design</h4> A nationwide questionnaire-based study in in- and outpatient settings was conducted between 12/1...
