Racial and ethnic differences in COVID-19-associated septic shock
Our study showed that there was higher mortality in Hispanic patients, and higher renal and respiratory complication in both NHB and Hispanic groups compared to NHW group. Future research identifying the causes of the observed differences in complications are required to inform targeted strategies that may mitigate modifiable risk factors and optimize early detection of organ failure to optimize outcomes in this population.
