Figure.. Relative risks and adjusted marginal percentages of COVID-19 testing, hospitalizations, and receipt of intensive-level care, by race/ethnicity.
All relative risks and adjusted marginal percentages were estimated using robust Poisson regression and included the log of follow-up days as offset to account for differential follow-up (<5% were lost to follow-up). Analyses were done using SAS, version 9.4 (SAS Institute). The fully adjusted model adjusted for age, sex, comorbidity categories, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index (count of comorbidities documented within past 12 mo), and body mass index categories. No collinearity issues were observed when using the Elixhauser Comorbidity Index along with the 5 broad comorbidity categories that adjust for the independent effects of each respective disease category.
