Racial and ethnic disparities in COVID‐19 infections and deaths across US nursing homes
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society Sep 26, 2020
Li Y, Cen X, Cai X, et al. - Via performing cross‐sectional analysis of national nursing home COVID‐19 reports linked to other data, researchers sought to report on racial/ethnic disparities in weekly counts of new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) cases and deaths among nursing home residents or staff. They grouped 12,576 nursing homes with varying proportions of racial/ethnic minority residents, as low‐, medium‐, medium‐high‐, and high‐proportion groups. In multivariable regression, it was noted that compared with the low‐proportion group, the high‐proportion group had 76% higher likelihood of having at least one new resident case. Similar across‐facility differences were recorded for the weekly count of new COVID‐19 deaths among residents and in the weekly count of new COVID‐19 confirmed cases among staff.
