Abstract

We assessed the impact of COVID-19 on healthcare workers (HCWs) from data on 2.9 million cases reported from nine countries in the EU/EEA. Compared to non-HCWs, HCWs had a higher adjusted risk of hospitalization (IRR 3.0 [95% CI 2.2-4.0]), but not death (IRR 0.9, 95% CI 0.4-2.0).

Article Summary Line

Healthcare workers are hospitalized more frequently than non-healthcare workers when adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidities.
