Study of 630,000 patients unveils COVID-19 outcome disparities across racial/ethnic lines

(Institute for Systems Biology) Researchers at Seattle's Institute for Systems Biology and their collaborators looked at the electronic health records of nearly 630,000 patients who were tested for SARS-CoV-2, and found stark disparities in COVID-19 outcomes -- odds of infection, hospitalization, and in-hospital mortality -- between White and non-White minority racial and ethnic groups. The work was published in the journalClinical Infectious Diseases.
