Conclusions and Relevance
Among outpatient health care personnel, N95 respirators vs medical masks as worn by participants in this trial resulted in no significant difference in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza.
N95 respirators are designed to prevent the wearer from inhaling small airborne particles,9 must meet filtration requirements,10 and fit tightly to the wearer's face, limiting facial seal leakage.
Within each medical center, for each study year, pairs of clusters (clinics and other settings) were matched by the number of participants, health services delivered, patient population served, and additional personal protective equipment.
