Abstract

What clinical and sociodemographic risk factors predicted someone in Ontario testing positive for COVID-19? In this study, researchers will further determine among COVID-positive people what specific risk factors were tied to such adverse outcomes as hospitalization, death, requiring intensive care and/or a respirator, and developing a cardiovascular complication. This study will also evaluate any associated risk between certain cardiovascular (e.g. angiotensin inhibitors) and diabetes medications with testing positive for COVID-19 and developing any complications. Findings will guide policy decisions as the province plans against any next waves of the pandemic, and inform people in more depth about their specific risk levels for COVID-19.
