El‐Boghdadly K, Wong DJN, Owen R, et al. - Researchers assessed the risk of acquiring COVID‐19 among healthcare workers participating in tracheal intubation of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID‐19, via this prospective international multicentre cohort study. The incidence of laboratory‐verified COVID‐19 diagnosis or new symptoms needing self‐isolation or hospitalisation following a tracheal intubation episode, was the primary endpoint. This study included 1,718 healthcare workers in 17 countries. For the primary endpoint, the overall incidence was estimated to be 10.7% during a median follow‐up of 32 days. Following the first tracheal intubation episode, the estimated cumulative incidence was 3.6%, 6.1%, and 8.5% within 7, 14 and 21 days, respectively. The risk of the primary endpoint differed by country and was shown to be higher in women, but was not related to other factors. Overall, findings revealed that among healthcare workers participating in tracheal intubation of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID‐19, approximately 1 in 10 subsequently reported a COVID‐19 outcome.
