REACH-OUT: Race, Ethnicity, and Air Pollution in COVID-19 Hospitalization OUTcomes.
When limiting to individuals in the hospital's typical catchment areas, the observed positive associations between air pollutant exposures and COVID-19-related morbidities such as ARDS, pneumonia, and use of dialysis were strongest in areas with higher neighborhood-level environmental vulnerability. Inverse associations between air pollutant exposures and severe outcomes like death and use of mechanical ventilation were unexpected findings that highlighted challenges in examining such associations at the population level in NYC.
