[Pre-print, not peer-reviewed] A single center retrospective observational cohort study of SARS-CoV-2-positive adult residents (n = 977) of the Bronx hospitalized between March-May 2020 found that residing in the South Bronx (OR=1.8), age > 60 years (OR=2.5) and critical COVID-19 (OR=14.6) were significantly associated with mortality. There was no observed difference in 30-day mortality by race/ethnicity among those with COVID-19.
