Title: Exposure Patterns Driving Ebola Transmission in West Africa: A Retrospective Observational Study Document date: 2016_11_15
ID: 069pelqj_41
Snippet: Cases were asked to provide details on the nature of their exposures and their relationships with the contacts, which are shown in Table 1 . Overall, 87% of exposures occurred between family members (of those where the relationship was reported). Up until the introduction of the new case investigation form (see S2-S6 Texts), non-funeral exposures were recorded as one or more types (e.g., an exposure could simultaneously involve shared belongings .....
Document: Cases were asked to provide details on the nature of their exposures and their relationships with the contacts, which are shown in Table 1 . Overall, 87% of exposures occurred between family members (of those where the relationship was reported). Up until the introduction of the new case investigation form (see S2-S6 Texts), non-funeral exposures were recorded as one or more types (e.g., an exposure could simultaneously involve shared belongings and exposure to bodily fluids). Of those non-funeral exposures for which the type of exposure was reported, over 90% were reported to involve contact with bodily fluids and/or direct physical contact, and 38% were reported as occurring in a household (defined as having slept, eaten, or spent time in the same household or room as the contact). These patterns did not change significantly over time (see Figure e in S1 Text). For funeral exposures, cases were asked whether they had touched the corpse. Of those giving a response, 65% reported having touched the corpse, with this proportion being greatest for Guinea (71%) and least for Liberia (61%). This proportion declined significantly after October 2014 (p < 0.001; see Figure h in S1 Text), most notably in Sierra Leone.
