COVID-19 Incidence After Exposures in Shared Patient Rooms, Tertiary Care Center, Iowa, July 2020-May 2021.
COVID-19 Incidence After Exposures in Shared Patient Rooms, Tertiary Care Center, Iowa, July 2020-May 2021. Infection control and hospital epidemiology Trannel, A., Kobayashi, T., Dains, A., Abosi, O. J., Jenn, K. E., Meacham, H., Sheeler, L. L., Etienne, W., Kukla, M. E., Alsuhaibani, M., Holley, S., Strandberg, K., Marra, A. R., Kritzman, J., Ford, B., Wellington, M., Diekema, D. J., Salinas, J. L. 2021: 1-13Abstract
The incidence of COVID-19 exposures in shared patient rooms was low at our institution: 1.8/1,000 shared room patient-days. However, the secondary attack rate (21.6%) was comparable to that reported in household exposures. Lengthier exposures were associated with COVID-19 conversion. Hospitals should implement measures to decrease shared room exposures.
