Asociación de la infección por COVID-19 en médicos internos de pregrado de una facultad de medicina del norte de México
Palabras clave:
Médicos internos, infección, COVID-19Resumen
Los médicos internos de pregrado están expuestos al COVID-19. Se deben garantizar medidas adecuadas para minimizar el riesgo de infección y propagación de la enfermedad. Se incluyen 173 médicos en etapa formativa clínica. La información se recogió en un cuestionario estructurado. La prueba RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 se realizó para participantes sintomáticos y asintomáticos a COVID-19. Los objetivos del presente estudio fueron asociar la presencia de COVID-19, e identificar características de exposición relacionadas con la infección en médicos internos de pregrado. El riesgo de infección por COVID-19 fue mayor en los médicos internos de pregrado (63.0%, p = 0.003). El mayor riesgo de infección después de la exposición a pacientes y colegas confirmados a COVID-19, ocurrió en el grupo de estudio de médicos internos de pregrado (67.1%, p = 0.002 y 69.8%, p = 0.003, respectivamente). Encontramos alta frecuencia de COVID-19 entre los médicos internos de pregrado.
