Key Takeaway
Note that 6% of COVID-19 hospitalizations in a 13-state analysis were among health care personnel.

An observational analysis examined COVID-19-associated hospitalizations among adults at 13 sites (COVID-NET) across 13 states. The study did not report the total sample size, specific interventions, comparators, or primary outcomes. The main descriptive finding was that 6% of hospitalized adults with COVID-19 were identified as health care personnel. No safety, tolerability, or adverse event data were reported for this analysis. Key limitations include the observational nature of the data, which shows association only, and the restricted geographic scope of 13 states, limiting generalizability. The practice relevance is minimal as this is a descriptive, non-causal finding from a specific surveillance network, serving mainly to identify a subgroup for potential further investigation.
