Title: The need of health policy perspective to protect Healthcare Workers during COVID-19 pandemic. A GRADE rapid review on the N95 respirators effectiveness. Document date: 2020_4_11

Document: There are already some systematic reviews addressing the role of N95 respirators in protecting HCWs, offering however biased estimates of the effect [18] [19] [20] . We therefore undertook a systematic review with a different perspective and methodology, given the exceptional disease burden expected from this pandemic [21] , the central role of protecting HCWs and the need of a careful definition of the outcomes, which are critical for unbiased public health policy decisions [22] . Indeed strengthening the preparedness and resiliency of health care systems to this pandemic crisis occurs not only avoiding SARS-CoV-2 infection but also preventing any HCW respiratory infection causing absenteeism from work. We therefore conducted a systematic review aimed at assessing the efficacy of N95 respirators versus surgical masks for the prevention of respiratory tract infections transmission among HCWs. The evidence from the review can then be used for the development of an appropriate GRADE framework for public health policy guidelines.
