The prevalence of medical adhesive-related skin injury caused by protective dressings among medical staff members during the 2019 coronavirus pandemic in China.

The high prevalence indicates MARSI is common among front-line medical staff members, especially those using hydrocolloid dressings and longer durations of dressing usage. Pain upon dressing removal can be severe and increased the risk of MARSI. We call for paying more attention to MARSI and recommend multisite studies with larger sample sizes to enhance the generalizability of these findings.
