Physicians who had a medical license and lived and practiced medicine in Peru were included. To evaluate the factors associated with a higher level of knowledge, we used crude (cPR) and adjusted (aPR) prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) using Poisson regression.<h4>Results</h4>We included 463 physicians. The mean age was 36.6 (SD: 10.3) years, and most were male (58.1%). Regarding knowledge, the median knowledge score was Vaccines167https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9860588biostudies-literatureLevel of Knowledge Regarding Mpox among Peruvian Physicians during the 2022 Outbreak: A Cross-Sectional Study.PMC9860588De-Los-Rios-Pinto AAlave JFernandez-Guzman DCaira-Chuquineyra BPinedo-Soria AQuispe-Vicuna CGonzales-Zamora JAMorocho-Alburqueque NAlarcon-Parra MMurrieta-Ruiz VCcami-Bernal FBenito-Vargas RMPonce-Rosas LSoriano-Moreno ANSoriano-Moreno DRSangster-Carrasco LfalseLevel of Knowledge Regarding Mpox among Peruvian Physicians during the 2022 Outbreak: A Cross-Sectional Study.<h4>Introduction</h4>Due to the high incidence of mpox in Peru and the poor knowledge about this disease among healthcare workers in non-endemic countries, it is crucial to determine the knowledge status of Peruvian physicians.<h4>Methodology</h4>We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study based on an online survey from August to September 2022.
