Reduction of SARS-CoV-2 intra-household child-to-parent transmission associated with ventilation: results from a case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Our objective was to describe circumstances of SARS-CoV-2 household transmission and to identify factors associated with a lower risk of transmission in a nationwide case-control study in France.

Methods

In a descriptive analysis, we analysed cases reporting transmission from someone in the household (source case). Index cases could invite a non-infected household member to participate as a related control. In such situations, we compared the exposures of the index case and related control to the source case by conditional logistic regression matched for household, restricted to households in which the source case was a child, and the index case and related control were the infected child's parents.

Results

From October 27, 2020 to May 16, 2022, we included 10
