Abstract
Individuals living in institutionalized environments are more susceptible to the spread of COVID-19, and often the poor living conditions may lead to worsening health outcomes. Therefore, we are interested in investigating whether institutionalized individuals have a higher COVID-19 mortality rate than those who are not institutionalized. This study will utilize the Canadian COVID-19 Emergency Department Rapid Response Network (CCEDRRN), which will include data on consenting patients arriving at the emergency department for COVID-19 treatment. We will match institutionalized patients with non-institutionalized patients and examine the mortality rates and any additional variables that modify the result.
