LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A new USC study of a large and diverse group of Medicaid enrollees finds Latino patients had starkly higher odds of a positive COVID-19 test, as well as higher odds of hospitalization and death, than white patients, it was announced today.
The study of racial and ethnic differences in COVID-19 testing and outcomes included data from more than 84,000 adults at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center who were enrolled in the county s Medicaid managed care plan.
One hypothesis for worse COVID-19 outcomes among low-income people has been that they are more likely to have other preexisting health problems.
