PALOMINO BALDEON, Juan Carlos; GAMARRA VILLEGAS, Bernardo Eyzer  y  JUAREZ TERAN, Anghela Tamara. Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of workers diagnosed with COVID-19 in the setting of an external occupational safety and health service in Lima-Peru. Horiz. Med. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.2, e1732.  Epub 07-Jul-2022. ISSN 1727-558X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.24265/horizmed.2022.v22n2.04.

Objective:

To describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of workers kept under occupational medical surveillance conducted by an occupational safety and health service.

Materials and methods:

An observational, descriptive, retrospective, longitudinal study of a group of workers diagnosed with COVID-19 kept under occupational medical surveillance from March 18 to July 31, 2020. The data was analyzed using the Stata Statistical Software: Release 15.

Results:

Males were more severely affected than females (77.16 %), among which the 20- to 39-year-old age group prevailed (63.30 %). On the other hand, study subjects with no comorbidities accounted for 81.11 %. However, the remaining 18.9 % presented one or more comorbidities, with obesity being the most frequent one (61.95 %), followed by asthma (11.09 %). Sore throat and cough were the most common symptoms with 20.67 % and 19.78 %, respectively.

Conclusions:

The study population mainly consisted of young male adults with no comorbidities, who neither showed predominant symptoms nor required hospitalization.
