Of 4529 respondents, the male-to-female ratio was 1:8.6 and the mean age was 34.3 years. The majority of respondents were nurses (83%). The prevalence of glove-related symptoms among the HCWs is 13.3%. Glove-related cutaneous and noncutaneous symptoms were found in 11.3% and 5.9% of the respondents.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The hospital housekeepers emerged as the job with the significantly higher prevalence rate of glove-related symptoms than that of the other job categories. Factors associated with glove-related cutaneous symptoms are frequency and duration of glove use, history of atopy, and history of allergy to fruit cross-reacting with latex. The quantity of glove use, history of atopy, and allergy to fruits cross-reacting with latex are risk factors for the occurrence of glove-related noncutaneous symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/der.0000000000000044","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,12]],"date-time":"2014-05-12T10:07:25Z","timestamp":1399889245000},"page":"135-139","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Latex Glove\u2013Related Symptoms Among Health Care Workers: A Self-Report Questionnaire-Based Survey"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Waranya","family":"Boonchai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Contact Dermatitis Clinic, Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wararat","family":"Sirikudta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Contact Dermatitis Clinic, Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pacharee","family":"Iamtharachai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Contact Dermatitis Clinic, Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pranee","family":"Kasemsarn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Contact Dermatitis Clinic, Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","first-page":"377","article-title":"Update: universal precautions for prevention of transmission of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, and other bloodborne pathogens in health-care settings","volume":"37","author":"CDC","year":"1988","unstructured":"CDC.
