Hospitalised COVID-19 patients of the Mount Sinai Health System: a retrospective observational study using the electronic medical records.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess association of clinical features on COVID-19 patient outcomes.

Design

Retrospective observational study using electronic medical record data.

Setting

Five member hospitals from the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City (NYC).

Participants

28 336 patients tested for SARS-CoV-2 from 24 February 2020 to 15 April 2020, including 6158 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases.

Main outcomes and measures

Positive test rates and in-hospital mortality were assessed for different racial groups. Among positive cases admitted to the hospital (N=3273), we estimated HR for both discharge and death across various explanatory variables, including patient demographics, hospital site and unit, smoking status, vital signs, lab results and comorbidities.
