    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-06-30) Espíritu Silva, Kelly Madeleiny; Muñoz Anticona, Evelyn Paola; Cárdenas de Fernández, María Hilda
    Material and Method: The systematic review of 10 articles on the topic was conducted, and they were sourced from the following databases: Pubmed, Epistemonikos, and the Cochrane Library. All articles were analyzed according to the Grade scale to determine their strength and quality of evidence. RESULTS: According to the study design, 40% were systematic reviews, 20% were systematic reviews-meta analyses, and 20% were randomized controlled trials. The findings showed that 80% (n=80/10) reported the effectiveness of N95 respirators compared to surgical masks in preventing respiratory infections in healthcare workers, while 20% (n=20/10) indicated that the information is limited for determining the effectiveness of N95 respirators compared to surgical masks in preventing respiratory infections in healthcare workers. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that 8 out of 10 authors reported the effectiveness of N95 respirators compared to surgical masks in preventing respiratory infections in healthcare workers. It was also concluded that 2 out of 10 authors stated that the information is limited to determine the effectiveness of N95 respirators compared to surgical masks in preventing respiratory infections in healthcare workers.
