Risk factors and outcomes of COVID-19 in New York City; a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic and information on risk factors for worse prognosis is needed to accurately identify patients at risk and potentially provide insight into therapeutic options. In this retrospective cohort study, including 3703 patients with laboratory confirmed COVID-19, we identified risk factors associated with all-cause mortality, need for hospitalization and mechanical ventilation. Male gender was independently associated with increased risk of hospitalization (adjusted odds ratio [OR_adj ]: 1.62; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.38-1.91)), mechanical ventilation (OR_adj : 1.35; 95% CI: 1.08-1.69) and death (OR_adj : 1.46; 95% CI: 1.17-1.82). Patients > 60 years had higher risk of hospitalization (OR_adj
