Sharing a household with children and risk of COVID-19: a study of over 300,000 adults living in healthcare worker households in Scotland 2020-09-22 .txt text/plain 5315 272 53 Methods Using a Scotland-wide record-linkage based occupational cohort comprising healthcare workers and members of their households, we examined whether sharing a household with young children (aged 0 to 11) attenuated the risk of hospitalisation with COVID-19, and/or testing positive for COVID-19 infection of any severity (any case of Covid-19). Similar, but slightly stronger associations were found when the analysis was restricted to households where at least one member of staff had a patient-facing role (fully adjusted model, HR per child 0.83; 95% CI 0.68-1.02, Supplementary Table S3), a group with greater occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2 than non-patient facing healthcare workers, although on formally testing for an interaction between patient facing and non-patient facing groups, the coefficient included the null, (P-value for interaction = 0.80). ./cache/cord-258725-z79gel8h.txt ./txt/cord-258725-z79gel8h.txt
