الوصف: Purpose Veterans represent a significant proportion of the U.S. population (7%), and the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in this group of vulnerable patients has been largely overlooked. This analysis reports COVID-19 patient demographics, infection, mortality, and case-fatality rates in the veteran population. Methods This is a cross-sectional analysis using the Veterans Affairs informatics and computing infrastructure tool to assess the veterans' COVID-19 infections at the Veterans Affairs facilities from March 4th to June 23rd, 2020. Results Of the 10,621,580 veterans in this analysis, 59.7% were ≥65 yo, 92.5% were men, 68.7% were white, and 14.2% were black. Veterans ≥65 yo comprised 52.1% of cases and 89.9% of deaths. The relative mortality and case-fatality rates of black veterans, when compared with white veterans, were 2.83 (CI 2.56–3.14; P

الوصف: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has disproportionately affected racial and ethnic minority groups [1–5]. COVID-19 infection and mortality rates are higher among Hispanic/Latino, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations than non-Hispanic White populations [5]. Although most U.S. COVID-19 deaths have occurred among adults aged ≥65 years, younger persons represent a larger percentage of COVID-19 deaths in Hispanic/Latino, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic AI/AN populations [1]. These racial/ethnic groups also have younger age distributions across the population generally [3], and face increased risk of COVID-19 infection and related morbidity and mortality as a result of many different factors such as the degree of occupational exposure, housing or residential risk factors, the prevalence of preexisting health conditions, reduced access to care, and structural racism [1], [2], [3], [4]. The proportion of deaths by age and race/ethnicity has changed over the course of the pandemic, with a recent report demonstrating growing percentages among the Hispanic population from May through August 2020 [5]. However, that report did not examine changes in the distribution of COVID-19 deaths by race/ethnicity across age groups (or vice versa) over the course of the pandemic in 2020. Moreover, it is unknown how patterns by age and race/ethnicity may have changed more recently, over the most recent wave of the pandemic occurring at the end of 2020. To examine this, we describe weekly trends in COVID-19 deaths by age and race/ethnicity from April through December 26, 2020.
