cord-337372-y43prnko	bin‐Reza, Faisal	The use of masks and respirators to prevent transmission of influenza: a systematic review of the scientific evidence	2011-12-21		.txt	text/plain	4040	226	45	A limited effort was made to identify additional studies: reference lists of review articles were examined; the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control's (ECDC) Antimicrobial Resistance and Health Care Associated Infection Programme was consulted; and MEC's and AN's hardcopy literature files were hand-searched. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] Two of these studies compared N95 respirators (designed to seal tightly to the wearer's face and filter out very small particles or aerosols that may contain viruses) and surgical masks (used to block large droplets from coming into contact with the wearer's mouth or nose) amongst healthcare workers; one trial found a lower rate of clinical respiratory illness associated with the use of non-fit-tested N95 respirators compared with medical masks, 6 whilst a non-inferiority trial found that masks and respirators offered similar protection to nurses against laboratory-confirmed influenza infection.	./cache/cord-337372-y43prnko.txt	./txt/cord-337372-y43prnko.txt
