Abstract

Objective: The COVID19 pandemic is still present all over the World and there is little data about healthcare workers being exposed to the virus. In this study we aimed to evaluate the data of healthcare workers exposed to COVID 19 in a tertiary healthcare center. Methods: The data of the healthcare workers exposed to COVID 19, who attended to our outpatient clinic of Infectious Diseases Department was collected retrospectively from the hospital patient record system. Demographic data, symptoms, risk stratification, comorbidities, laboratory findings, PCR test, antibody test, radiological tests, prophylaxis and theraphies were recorded. The data was analyzed with the SPSS programme. Results: Between 11.03.2020-30.05.2020 the number of healthcare workers exposed to COVID 19 was 231, with 71 males(%31) and 159 females (%69). The range of age was 20-65, the mean age was 38.6±9.3. The rate of comorbidities was low because of the young aged study group. Among them %19 were doctors, %53 were nurses and %26 were other healthcare workers. The most encountered symptoms were cough, a sore throat and respiratory distress %33,%15,%10 respectively. The PCR test positivity rate was obtained in 17 cases (%7). In the healthcare workers who had high risk exposure, the PCR positivity rate was %16; while this was lower in median and low risk groups,%3.2 and %1 respectively. This result was statistically significant(p

Özet

Giriş: COVID-19 pandemisi halen tüm dünyada devam etmekte olup, COVID-19 hastalarına bakım veren, hastalık ile temas eden sağlık çalışanları ile ilgili veriler literatürde sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmada 3. basamak bir üniversite hastanesinde COVID-19 ile temas eden sağlık çalışanlarının verilerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Hastanemiz Enfeksiyon Hastalıkları Polikliniğine başvuran COVID-19 ile temas eden sağlık çalışanlarının verileri retrospektif olarak hastane veri sisteminden araştırıldı. Demografik verilerin yanında temaslıların semptomları, risk sınıflandırması, komorbid hastalıklar, yapılan temel laboratuar tetkikler, PCR, antikor testi, radyolojik bulgular, profilaksi alma durumları ve tedavileri incelendi. Veriler SPSS programı ile analiz edildi. Bulgular: 11.03.2020 ve 30.05.2020 tarihleri arasında COVID-19 ile temas eden sağlık çalışanı sayısı 231 olup bunların 71’si erkek(%31), 159’u kadındı(%69). Yaş aralığı 20-65 olup yaş ortalaması 38.6 ±9.3 olarak saptandı. Komorbid hastalık oranları düşük saptandı, bu çalışmaya alınan popülasyonun genç yaş grubunda olmasına bağlandı. Meslek farklılığı olarak temaslıların %19’u doktor, %53’ü hemşire ve %26’sı personel idi. Semptom olarak en sık öksürük %33, boğaz ağrısı %15 ve nefes darlığı %10 oranında görüldü. PCR pozitifliği 17 olguda olup %7 olarak değerlendirildi. Yüksek riskli teması olan sağlık çalışanlarında PCR pozitiflik oranı %16, orta riskli temaslı grupta ve düşük riskli grupta bu oran sırasıyla %3.2 ve 1 idi. Yüksek riskli temaslı gruptaki PCR pozitifliği oranındaki yükseklik istatistiksel olarak anlamlı idi(p
