Study Name:
Association of Race With Mortality Among Patients Hospitalized With Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) at 92 US Hospitals
Question:
Is race associated with mortality among patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the United States?
Findings:
In this cohort study of 11 210 individuals with COVID-19 presenting for care at 92 hospitals across 12 states, there was no difference in all-cause, in-hospital mortality between White and Black patients after adjusting for age, sex, insurance status, comorbidity, neighborhood deprivation, and site of care.
Meaning:
In this study, race was not independently associated with in-hospital mortality after adjusting for differences in sociodemographic and clinical factors.
