Table 2.

Demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in HCWs and support staff. Both unadjusted and inverse probability weight-adjusted regression data are presented. For factors with multiple categories, the 15 most populous are presented and the remaining collated into “other”, which forms the reference group. Abbreviations: IPW – inverse probability weight; OR – odds ratio; CI – confidence interval; BAME – Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic.
