Risk factors for COVID-19 among healthcare workers. A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence on the spectrum of risk factors for infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) among front-line healthcare workers (HCWs) has not been well-described. While several studies evaluating the risk factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection among patient-facing and non-patient-facing front-line HCWs have been reported since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19), and several more are still underway. There is, therefore, an immediate need for an ongoing, rigorous systematic review that continuously assesses the risk factors of SARS-CoV-2 infection among front-line HCWs.

Objective

Here, we outline a protocol to serve as a guideline for conducting a living systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the bu
