Question Are health care workers (HCWs) at risk of worse outcomes associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) compared with the general population?
Findings This propensity-matched multicenter cohort study included 122 HCWs hospitalized with COVID-19 matched to 366 non-HCWs hospitalized with COVID-19. The odds of the primary outcome—mechanical ventilation or death—were not significantly different for HCWs compared with non-HCWs.
Meaning This study finds that HCW status is not associated with poorer outcomes among patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
Abstract
Importance Although health care workers (HCWs) are at higher risk of acquiring coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it is unclear whether they are at risk of poorer outcomes.
Objective To evaluate the association between HCW status and outcomes among patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
