The aim of this study is to report on the clinical characteristics and the predictors of mortality in hospitalized AA patients with COVID\u201019 infection. In this retrospective cohort review, we included all AA patients with confirmed COVID\u201019 infection admitted to an inner\u2010city teaching community hospital in New York city. Demographics, clinical presentation, baseline co\u2010morbidities, and laboratory data were compared between survivors and non\u2010survivors. The predictors of mortality were assessed using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Of the 408 (median age, 67 years) patients included, 276 (66.65%, median age 63 years) survived while 132 (33.35%, median age 71 years) died. The most common presenting symptoms were cough, myalgia, fever\/chills, shortness of breath, and gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain), with a prevalence of 62.50%, 43.87%, 53.68%, and 27.21%, respectively. Age (odds ratio [OR], 1.06; confidence interval [CI], 1.04\u20101.08; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), body mass index (OR, 1.07; CI, 1.04\u20101.11; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), elevated serum ferritin (OR, 1.99; CI, 1.08\u20103.66; <jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&lt;\u2009.02), C\u2010reactive protein (OR, 2.42; CI, 1.36\u20104.33; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.01), and D\u2010dimers (OR, 3.79; CI, 2.21\u20106.50; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001) at the time of presentation were identified as the independent predictors of mortality. Cough, shortness of breath, fever\/chills, gastrointestinal symptoms, and myalgia were the predominant presentation among AAs hospitalized with COVID\u201019 infection. Advanced age, higher body mass index, elevated serum ferritin, C\u2010reactive protein, and D\u2010dimers are independent predictors of mortality among hospitalized AAs with COVID\u201019 infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jmv.26306","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,16]],"date-time":"2020-07-16T14:30:39Z","timestamp":1594909839000},"page":"812-819","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Clinical characteristics and predictors of mortality in African\u2010Americans with COVID\u201019 from an inner\u2010city community teaching hospital in New York"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"93","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5194-9134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vijay","family":"Gayam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine Interfaith Medical Center  Brooklyn New York"},{"name":"Department of Pulmonology and Critical care Interfaith Medical Center  Brooklyn New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4490-5480","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muchi Ditah","family":"Chobufo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine Interfaith Medical Center  Brooklyn New York"},{"name":"Department of Pulmonology and Critical care Interfaith Medical Center  Brooklyn New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed A.","family":"Merghani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine Interfaith Medical Center  Brooklyn New York"},{"name":"Department of Pulmonology and Critical care Interfaith Medical Center  Brooklyn New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shristi","family":"Lamichhane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine Interfaith Medical Center  Brooklyn New York"},{"name":"Department of Pulmonology and Critical care Interfaith Medical Center  Brooklyn New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pavani Reddy","family":"Garlapati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine Interfaith Medical Center  Brooklyn New York"},{"name":"Department of Pulmonology and Critical care Interfaith Medical Center  Brooklyn New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark K.","family":"Adler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine Interfaith Medical Center  Brooklyn New York"},{"name":"Department of Pulmonology and Critical care Interfaith Medical Center  Brooklyn New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","unstructured":"GorbalenyaAE BakerSC BaricRS et al.
