  • Despite a higher incidence of COVID-19 and a higher proportion of positive test results, non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic patients with COVID-19 had slightly lower risk of death than their non-Hispanic white counterparts (aHR=0.8, p=0.03 for Non-Hispanic Black and aHR=0.7, p=0.002 for Hispanic patients). These findings were based on a cohort study conducted at a medical center in New York City between March 14 and April 15, 2020 with 9,268 patients tested for SARS-CoV-2.
