BACKGROUNDSince the first isolation of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in Saudi Arabia in 2012, sporadic cases, clusters, and sometimes large outbreaks have been reported.OBJECTIVETo describe the recent (2015) MERS-CoV outbreak at a large tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.METHODSWe conducted an epidemiologic outbreak investigation, including case finding and contact tracing and screening. MERS-CoV cases were categorized as suspected, probable, and confirmed. A confirmed case was defined as positive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test for MERS-CoV.RESULTSOf the 130 suspected cases, 81 (62%) were confirmed and 49 (38%) were probable. These included 87 patients (67%) and 43 healthcare workers (33%). Older age (mean [SD], 64.4 [18.3] vs 40.1 [11.3] years, P<.001), symptoms (97% vs 58%, P<.001), and comorbidity (99% vs 42%, P<.001) were more common in patients than healthcare workers. Almost all patients (97%) were hospitalized whereas most healthcare workers (72%) were home isolated. Among 96 hospitalized cases, 63 (66%) required intensive care unit management and 60 (63%) required mechanical ventilation. Among all 130 cases, 51 (39%) died; all were patients (51 [59%]) with no deaths among healthcare workers. More than half (54%) of infections were believed to be caught at the emergency department. Strict infection control measures, including isolation and closure of the emergency department, were implemented to interrupt the chain of transmission and end the outbreak.CONCLUSIONMERS-CoV remains a major healthcare threat. Early recognition of cases and rapid implementation of infection control measures are necessary.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2016;1–9

Objective: Radiographers are known to be at increased risk of burnout due to the emotionally taxing interactions that they have with their patients on a daily basis. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of burnout among radiographers in a large tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia.Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional study using the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS). This tool has been extensively tested and validated. 150 full-time radiographers at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were invited. Trainees, interns and on job trainees (OJT) were excluded to ensure sample homogeneity. Results: 150 participants were invited to participate in the questionnaire with response rate 142 (95%). 70 participants (49%) were male and 72 (51%) female. Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey subscale results: The mean (± SD) score for emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment were 21.44 (± 13.0), 8.12 (± 6.99) and 35.63 (± 8.59) respectively. Moderate to high risk of burnout for emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment were reported in 67%, 52% and 58% of participants respectively. Conclusions: 67% of radiographers were at moderate to high risk of burnout for emotional exhaustion, 52% for depersonalization and 58% for personal accomplishment. Policymakers should take necessary steps to recognize factors contributing to staff burnout and take appropriate steps to improve the work environment.
