Associations of County-Level Social Determinants of Health with COVID-19 Related Hospitalization Among People with HIV: A Retrospective Analysis of the U.S. National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Individually, the COVID-19 and HIV pandemics have differentially impacted minoritized groups due to the role of social determinants of health (SDoH) in the U.S. Little is known how the collision of these two pandemics may have exacerbated adverse health outcomes. We evaluated county-level SDoH and associations with hospitalization after a COVID-19 diagnosis among people with (PWH) and without HIV (PWOH) by racial/ethnic groups. We used the U.S. National COVID Cohort Collaborative (January 2020-November 2023), a nationally-sampled electronic health record repository, to identify adults who were diagnosed with COVID-19 with HIV (n = 22,491) and without HIV (n = 2,220,660). We aggregated SDoH measures at the county-level and categorized racial/ethnic groups as Non-Hispanic (NH) White, NH-Black, Hispanic/Latinx, NH-Asian and Pacific Islander (AAPI), and NH-American Indian or Alaskan Native (AIAN). To estimate associations of county-level SDoH with hospitalization after a COVID-19 diagnosis, we used multilevel, multivariable logistic regressions, calculating adjusted relative risks (aRR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). COVID-19 related hospitalization occurred among 11% of PWH and 7% of PWOH, with the highest proportion among NH-Black PWH (15%). In evaluating county-level SDoH among PWH, we found higher average household size was associated with lower risk of COVID-19 related hospitalization across racial/ethnic groups. Higher mean commute time (aRR: 1.76; 95% CI 1.10-2.62) and higher proportion of adults without health insurance (aRR: 1.40; 95% CI 1.04-1.84) was associated with a higher risk of COVID-19 hospitalization among NH-Black PWH, however, NH-Black PWOH did not demonstrate these associations. Differences by race and ethnicity exist in associations of adverse county-level SDoH with COVID-19 outcomes among people with and without HIV in the U.S.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
