These outcomes are often influenced by socioeconomic and demographic conditions and may co-occur in space, indicating shared structural risks that inform targeted responses.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>We analyzed severe COVID-19 outcomes among adults aged 65 + in Ontario (January 2020–March 2022) using data from the Ontario Health Data Platform supported by ICES. A Bayesian shared component model with Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation at the forward sortation area level included socioeconomic and demographic covariates.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The shared component explained ∼75 % of the total modeled spatial variability. High risks clustered in southern Ontario, while lower risks occurred in central and northern regions. Material deprivation was positively associated with death (RR 1.12, 95 % CrI: 1.04–1.21) and multiple hospitalizations (RR 1.20, 95 % CrI: 1.13–1.29). Racialized/newcomer population concentration was positively associated with death (RR 1.25, 95 % CrI: 1.14–1.38) and with single hospitalizations (RR 1.18, 95 % CrI: 1.11–1.24). The percentage of seniors was inversely associated with hospitalization (RR 0.98, 95 % CrI: 0.96–0.99) but not death.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Findings highlight structural inequities in pandemic severity and suggest targeted, equity-oriented strategies in guiding pandemic preparedness and response.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50767,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Epidemiology","volume":"111 ","pages":"Pages 120-128"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145259979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
