Abstract:Objective To explore the risk factors associated with coronavirus infection in healthcare workers, and to provide evidence-based infection prevention and control protocol for them. Methods Papers published from 2002 to February 2020 were searched in electronic databases.Stata 12.0 was employed for meta-analysis. Results Eleven publications were included involving 4 795 healthcare workers. Meta-analysis showed that such high-risk procedures as tracheal intubation [OR=4.231,95%CI(1.625,11.015)], tracheotomy[OR= 5.069,95%CI(2.437,10.543)],Suctioning[OR=1.672,95%CI(1.349,2.072)], non-invasive ventilation[OR=3.140,95%CI(1.439,6.851)], and chest compression [OR=4.500,95%CI(1.500,13.800)] were risk factors for coronavirus infection in healthcare workers. Conclusion Performing high-risk treatment procedures increases infection risk in healthcare workers, so they should be vigilant and actively take preventive measures during these procedures.
