Time-varying risk of death after SARS-CoV-2 infection in Swedish long-term care facility residents: a matched cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate whether SARS-CoV-2 infection in residents of long-term care (LTC) facilities is associated with higher mortality after the acute phase of infection, and to estimate survival in uninfected residents.
