| dc.description | Propósito: Este estudio tiene como objetivo determinar la seroprevalencia de la enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) entre los trabajadores sanitarios y describir las características sociodemográficas y laborales asociadas. Pacientes y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional con componente analítico en una clínica de Cali, Colombia. El tamaño de la muestra fue de 708 trabajadores de la salud y fueron seleccionados por muestreo aleatorio estratificado. Se desarrolló un análisis bayesiano para determinar la prevalencia bruta y ajustada. Se utilizó un modelo de regresión de Poisson para estimar las razones de prevalencia. Resultados: La seroprevalencia global de COVID-19 entre los trabajadores sanitarios fue del 29%. La de los trabajadores de servicios diversos, sanitarios y administrativos fue del 38%, 33% y 32%, respectivamente. Los factores relacionados con la seropositividad fueron haber estado en contacto con un paciente con COVID-19 durante más de 120 minutos y haber sido diagnosticado de COVID-19 mediante pruebas de laboratorio. Conclusiones: El presente estudio muestra una seroprevalencia ajustada del 29% en trabajadores sanitarios, lo que indica un alto nivel de transmisión de la enfermedad y un mayor riesgo de infección en este grupo de población. | |
| dc.description.abstract | Purpose: This study aims to determine the seroprevalence of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) among health care workers and describe the associated sociodemographic and labor features. Patients and Methods: An observational study with an analytical component was conducted at a clinic in Cali, Colombia. The sample size was 708 health workers and they were selected by stratified random sampling. A Bayesian analysis was developed to determine the raw and adjusted prevalence. A Poisson regression model was used to estimate the prevalence ratios. Results: Overall seroprevalence of COVID-19 among healthcare workers was 29%. Miscellaneous services workers, healthcare, and administrative workers, was 38%, 33%, and 32%, respectively. Factors related to seropositivity were having a contact with a COVID-19 patient for >120 minutes and being diagnosed with COVID-19 by laboratory tests. Conclusion: The present study shows a adjusted seroprevalence of 29% in health workers, indicating a high level of disease transmission and an increased risk of infection in this population group. | |
