ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Impact of COVID-19 on Occupational Dermato-allergology Consultations of Health Personnel," is studying how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected skin conditions among healthcare workers. Occupational dermatitis, which is skin irritation caused by work-related factors, is a common issue, especially for those in healthcare. The researchers are looking at data from two medical centers in the Paris area to find out if there have been more cases of skin problems since the pandemic began, particularly due to increased use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and hygiene products.

To be eligible for the study, participants must be active healthcare workers over the age of 18 who have sought help for skin-related issues for the first time between March 2017 and March 2023. Those who have consulted for other non-skin related problems or who do not work in healthcare are not eligible. If you decide to participate, your information will be collected and kept private, and the study aims to gather important insights that could help improve care and preventive measures for skin conditions among healthcare professionals in the future.
