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 journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.
