SHM Converge 2021
Background: Current data indicate that racial and ethnic minorities bear a disproportionate burden of COVID-19 infection and mortality (1-4). Consequently, communities with a higher proportion of minorities are expected to have a higher burden of infection and mortality, however, this hypothesis has not been tested. Therefore, we estimated the disparities across US counties in the […]

Background: Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has resulted in over 1 million deaths globally(1). Prognostic tools to identify high risk patients are crucial to guide resource allocation efforts(2). We aimed at developing a risk assessment tool for patients with COVID-19 based on the risk factors with most significant effect on hospital admission and in-hospital mortality. Methods: We […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Background: SARS-Cov-2 infection (COVID-19) can lead to severe respiratory illness characterized by diffuse pulmonary inflammation similar to what is seen in ARDS. The case series evaluates the additive anti-inflammatory effects of patients that received Tocilizumab, Convalescent Plasma and corticosteroids within 72 hours of hospital admission for critical COVID-19 disease. Methods: This is a retrospective […]

Background: Data about seroprevalence of COVID-19 infections in US Health Care Workers (HCW) is limited. CDC reported that about 55% of SARS-CoV-2 PCR positive HCWs reported exposure at work, with most of them being minimally symptomatic or asymptomatic(1). This study characterizes the symptomatic/asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 seropositive frontline HCW in our hospital and correlate clinical features with […]
