Background
Results
• As of November 2022, 1,070,947 Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19)-related deaths were reported in the United States (US)1
• Older age, male sex, smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD), cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, hypertension and
kidney disease are associated with a higher risk of mortality among
patients with COVID-19 infection2
• The US case-mortality rate for COVID-19 was reported to be 1.1%
as of March 20233
• Research on the impact of neighborhood socioeconomic
disadvantage on mortality in COVID-19 patients is lacking
Objective
• This study described the variation in patient demographic and clinical
characteristics and utilization of COVID-specific treatments by
neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage among patients
confirmed dead after a medical claim with COVID-19 diagnosis

• This retrospective cohort study utilized linked data from IQVIA’s
Professional fee claims (Dx), Longitudinal prescription claims (LRx)
and mortality data from Veritas Data Research to identify and
characterize patients with a COVID-19 diagnosis between April 1,
2020 and April 30, 2022

• Presence of chain-of-event conditions (COE) (+/- 7 days of the last
COVID diagnosis date) and significant contributing conditions
