ABSTRACT

With nursing homes being hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to know whether facilities that have any cases, or those with particularly high caseloads, are different from nursing homes that do not have any reported cases. Our analysis found that through mid-June, just under one-third of nursing homes in Ohio had at least one resident with COVID-19, with over 82% of all cases in the state coming from 37% of nursing homes. Overall findings on the association between facility quality and the prevalence of COVID-19 showed that having any resident case of the virus or even having a high caseload of residents with the virus is not more likely in nursing homes with lower quality ratings.

摘要

由于疗养院受到 COVID-19 大流行的严重打击，重要的是要知道有任何病例或病例量特别高的设施是否与没有任何报告病例的疗养院不同。我们的分析发现，到 6 月中旬，俄亥俄州将近三分之一的疗养院至少有一名居民患有 COVID-19，该州所有病例中超过 82% 来自 37% 的疗养院。关于设施质量与 COVID-19 流行率之间关联的总体调查结果表明，在质量评级较低的疗养院中，有任何居民病例或什至有大量居民感染病毒的可能性不大。
