healthcareCOVID is now published in @thePeerJ! 🥳 You can find our peer-reviewed publication here: https://t.co/0170axOQw8 Thank you to each and every healthcare worker who helped make this possible! 👏🏻

The strongest risk factor was increased frequency of contact with suspect or confirmed #COVID19 patients without adequate PPE. 22.5% reported working when they lacked access to PPE during clinical contact with suspect or confirmed #COVID19 patients. Reasons reported 👇🏽3/8

healthcareCOVID is the largest study of its kind + had >6000 participants The primary endpoint (composite of lab-confirmed #COVID19, self-isolation or hospitalisation due to suspected/confirmed COVID19) was reported by 29.4% of participants; 0.8% needing hospitalisation. 2/8

Our data did not suggest any different between White and BAME groups for reporting a #COVID19 endpoint, but there was a higher proportion of BAME HCW in the hospitalised group (40.8% vs 23.7%) 8/8

Area of contact with AGPs reported here 👇🏽7/8

Working environments including home visits (OR 0.68 (0.47 – 0.98), p = 0.040), ICU/HDU (OR 0.78 (0.65 – 0.94), p = 0.007), operating theatre (OR 0.71 (0.57 – 0.87), p = 0.001), and radiology (OR 0.62 (0.42 – 0.91), were associated with decreased risk of reporting #COVID19. 6/8

A substantial number of working days have been lost: between 11,870 and 21,158 days of self-isolation were required by participants due to suspected or confirmed #COVID19. This is approximately 71 to 127 working days lost per 1000 working days. 5/8

The ‘doctors’ group (OR 1.21 (1.04 – 1.41),p = 0.013), public transport to get to work (OR 1.38 (1.20 – 1.59), p =< 0.001), regular contact with #COVID19 patients (OR 1.33 (1.15 – 1.54), p = <0.001),lack of PPE (OR 1.28 (1.09 – 1.51), p = 0.002), are associated with ⬆️ risk. 4/8

@HealthcareCovid results: During the peak of the pandemic data from >6000 healthcare workers showed that the most likely association with reporting a COVID-19 was inadequate PPE. Concerning results? https://t.co/GeYMN1nYpj

Congrats to @IntubateCovid for this unique study with international collaboration on the risks to airway healthcare workers following tracheal intubation and #COVID19! 🥳

We've been pretty quiet since the survey close on 25th May 2020 - We are still here and making plans for the future! 🥳 Data analysis is ongoing and we hope to give more details in due course! 🧐

If you'd like to share more information about your frontline stories after completing the @HealthcareCovid survey, consider heading over to @Frontline_ARU to share a piece with them! 🙌👏✍️

We're starting to navigate our way through data analysis of responses from the last 2 weeks of the @HealthcareCovid survey. 📊🧮 But in the meantime, the @HealthcareCovid survey is still open, so please feel free to spare 5 minutes to complete! 👉 https://t.co/C9DYrEHu8p

Yupadoodle @Ldn_Ambulance - All paramedics are eligible to participate! Please do spare 5 minutes to help us build up the evidence base for risk factors for #COVID19 amongst the different healthcare workers in UK! 👉 https://t.co/C9DYrEHu8p

Hi @juniordrblog - The @HealthcareCovid survey is looking at risk factors for #COVID19 infection amongst healthcare workers throughout the UK and we'd appreciate an RT to help us spread the word to your followers! 👏
