这项调查评估了意大利伦巴第牙医对 COVID-19 的症状/体征、防护措施、认识和认知水平。此外，还对不同疾病流行地区收集的答案进行了分析。伦巴第的所有牙医都收到了一份在线临时调查问卷。调查问卷分为四个领域：个人数据、预防措施（患者到达之前、候诊室、手术室）、意识和感知。分析了三千五百九十九份问卷。 502 名 (14.43%) 参与者曾出现一种或多种与 COVID-19 相关的症状。 31 名受试者对病毒 SARS-CoV-2 呈阳性，16 名受试者患上这种疾病。只有少数牙医 (n = 72, 2.00%) 有信心避免感染；在 COVID-19 低流行地区工作的牙医比在米兰地区和高流行地区工作的牙医更有信心（分别为 61.24%、61.23% 和 64.29%，p < 0.01）。米兰地区（71.82%）的认知水平在统计学上显着高于其他地区（p < 0.01）。这项调查表明，尽管据报道，COVID-19 发病率最高地区的牙医比其他样本有更多的症状/体征，但他们采取多种预防措施的频率较低，并且更有信心避免感染。
This survey assessed the symptoms/signs, protective measures, awareness, and perception levels regarding COVID-19 among dentists in Lombardy, Italy. Moreover, an analysis of the answers gathered in areas with different prevalence of the disease was carried out. All Lombardy's dentists were sent an online ad hoc questionnaire. The questionnaire was divided into four domains: personal data, precautionary measures (before patient arrival; in the waiting room; in the operating room), awareness, and perception. Three thousand five hundred ninety-nine questionnaires were analyzed. Five hundred two (14.43%) participants had suffered one or more symptoms referable to COVID-19. Thirty-one subjects were positive to the virus SARS-CoV-2 and 16 subjects developed the disease. Only a small number of dentists (n = 72, 2.00%) were confident of avoiding infection; dentists working in low COVID-19 prevalence areas were more confident than those working in the Milan area and high prevalence area (61.24%, 61.23%, and 64.29%, p < 0.01 respectively). The level of awareness was statistically significantly higher (p < 0.01) in the Milan area (71.82%) than in the other areas. This survey demonstrated that dentists in the COVID-19 highest prevalence area, albeit reported to have more symptoms/signs than the rest of the sample, were the ones who adopted several precautionary measures less frequently and were the more confident of avoiding infection.
