Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze COVID-19 hospitalization and death rate in the Asian population of a predominantly Asian-serving multi-hospital system (ASMHS).Methods: The COVID-19 patient information was collected electronically from March 1 to November 12, 2020, including demographics, insurance, mortality, ICU admissions, and length of stay (LOS). Demographic characteristics were compared with the county-level and national data. A comparison of hospital LOS between Asians and non-Asians was conducted.Results: The prevalence ratio of deaths in Asians at ASMHS was 1.29, which was 53% higher than the county and 77% higher than the nation. The ICU admission for ASMHS Asian patients was 11.8% compared to 5.6% for non-Asian. Overall Asians and Asians aged > 65 had significantly longer LOS than non-Asians (p < .001).Conclusions: High prevalence ratio of deaths was noted in ASMHS’s Asian patients which may be related to older age, higher ICU rate, and longer LOS.

COVID-19对加州医院亚洲患者住院、死亡率和其他住院措施的影响

目的:本研究旨在分析以亚洲人为主的多医院系统(ASMHS)中亚洲人群的COVID-19住院率和死亡率。方法:电子收集2020年3月1日至11月12日2019冠状病毒病患者信息，包括人口统计学、保险、死亡率、ICU入院情况、住院时间(LOS)。将人口统计特征与县级和全国数据进行比较。对亚洲人和非亚洲人的医院LOS进行了比较。结果:亚洲人在ASMHS的死亡患病率为1.29，比县高53%，比全国高77%。ASMHS亚洲患者的ICU住院率为11.8%，而非亚洲患者为5.6%。总体上亚洲人和65岁以上的亚洲人的LOS明显长于非亚洲人(p < 0.001)。结论:亚洲ASMHS患者的死亡率较高，这可能与年龄较大、ICU率较高、LOS时间较长有关。
