Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Effectiveness of N95 respirators versus surgical masks against influenza: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Previous meta-analyses concluded that there was insufficient evidence to determine the effect of N95 respirators. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of N95 respirators versus surgical masks for prevention of influenza by collecting randomized controlled trials (RCTs). ⋯ The use of N95 respirators compared with surgical masks is not associated with a lower risk of laboratory-confirmed influenza. It suggests that N95 respirators should not be recommended for general public and nonhigh-risk medical staff those are not in close contact with influenza patients or suspected patients.

Meta Analysis Comparative StudyMedical masks vs N95 respirators for preventing COVID-19 in healthcare workers: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials.
N95 respiratory masks should be prioritised for high-risk aerosol-generating procedures because they do not appear to offer general healthcare workers greater protection from influenza or other respiratory illness than surgical masks.
