biostudies-literatureUnknown2(11)Joseph A<h4>Background</h4>Black and Hispanic populations have higher overall COVID-19 infection and mortality odds compared to Whites. Some state-wide studies conducted in the early months of the pandemic found no in-hospital racial disparities in mortality.<h4>Methods</h4>We performed chi-square and logistic regression analyses on the CDC COVID-19 Case Surveillance Restricted Database. The primary outcome of the study was all-cause in-hospital mortality. The primary exposures were racial group (White, Black, Hispanic and Others) and neighborhood type (low vulnerability, moderate vulnerability, high vulnerability, very high vulnerability).<h4>Findings</h4>The overall unadjusted mortality rate was 33% and was lowest among Hispanics. In the fully adjusted models, Blacks and Hispanics had higher ovePLOS global public healthe0000701https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10022015biostudies-literatureRacial and neighborhood disparities in mortality among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the United States: An analysis of the CDC case surveillance database.PMC10022015Uribe-Leitz TDey TCooper ZHavens JRaykar NJoseph AfalseRacial and neighborhood disparities in mortality among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the United States: An analysis of the CDC case surveillance database.<h4>Background</h4>Black and Hispanic populations have higher overall COVID-19 infection and mortality odds compared to Whites.
