Assessing COVID-19 transmission risk: Roommate and unit mate exposures at an inpatient behavioral health facility
Background
Inpatient psychiatric facilities have an increased risk of infection transmission. This study evaluated the impact of roommate and unit mate exposures on coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) transmission to inform isolation practices.
Methods
A single-center retrospective study was conducted among patients hospitalized in an inpatient behavioral health hospital from July 2020 through August 2023. We compared the risk of COVID-19 acquisition after exposure among patients with a contagious roommate versus those exposed to a contagious unit mate.
Results
During the study period, the conversion rate was 10.05% overall, 24.4% for roommates, and 9.3% for unit mates; patients exposed to a roommate were at 3.14 times higher odds (95% confidence interval, 1.42-6.92) of acquiring COVID-19 after exposure. On unit-stratified analysis, patients exposed to a roommate on the geropsychiatric unit had the highest risk of postexposure conversion compared with unit mate exposed patients (odds ratio 6.38, 95% confidence interval 1.75-23.22). Logistic regression analysis identified a nonsignificant risk associated with increased time in group therapy.
Conclusions
Exposure to a COVID-19-contagious roommate significantly increases the risk of COVID-19 acquisition among exposed patients receiving inpatient psychiatric care. Cohorting contagious and exposed individuals and avoiding multibedded rooms may mitigate COVID-19 transmission risk during psychiatric care.
