TLDR
Counties with higher proportions of black people have higher prevalence of comorbidities and greater air pollution, and social conditions, structural racism, and other factors elevate risk for COVID-19 diagnoses and deaths in black communities.

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in COVID-19-Related Infections, Hospitalizations, and Deaths : A Systematic Review.

TL;DR: A systematic review evaluating racial/ethnic disparities in SARS-CoV-2 infection rates and COVID-19 outcomes, factors contributing to disparities, and interventions to reduce them suggests that impacts of CO VID-19 differ among U.S. racial/ ethnic groups.

The National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C): Rationale, Design, Infrastructure, and Deployment.

Melissa A. Haendel, +57 more
TL;DR: The N3C has demonstrated that a multisite collaborative learning health network can overcome barriers to rapidly build a scalable infrastructure incorporating multiorganizational clinical data for COVID-19 analytics.

Assessing the Age Specificity of Infection Fatality Rates for COVID-19: Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, & Public Policy Implications

TL;DR: The findings indicate that COVID-19 is not just dangerous for the elderly and infirm but also for healthy middle-aged adults, for whom the fatality rate is more than 50 times greater than the risk of dying in an automobile accident.

SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence worldwide: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis to estimate the global and regional SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence rates in humans, and to assess whether serop revalence associates with geographical, climatic and socio-demographic factors, suggested an association with income, human development and climate change.

Cumulative incidence and diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection in New York.

TL;DR: From the largest US serosurvey to date, it is estimated > 2 million adult New York residents were infected through late March, with substantial disparities, although cumulative incidence remained below herd immunity thresholds.

Approximate Bayesian inference for latent Gaussian models by using integrated nested Laplace approximations

TL;DR: This work considers approximate Bayesian inference in a popular subset of structured additive regression models, latent Gaussian models, where the latent field is Gaussian, controlled by a few hyperparameters and with non‐Gaussian response variables and can directly compute very accurate approximations to the posterior marginals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bayesian image restoration, with two applications in spatial statistics

TL;DR: There has been much recent interest in Bayesian image analysis, including such topics as removal of blur and noise, detection of object boundaries, classification of textures, and reconstruction of two- or three-dimensional scenes from noisy lower-dimensional views as mentioned in this paper.

Rejoinder (Bayesian image restoration,with two applications in spatial statistics)

TL;DR: The present paper argues that many problems in the analysis of spatial data can be interpreted as problems of image restoration, since the amounts of data involved allow routine use of computer intensive methods, such as the Gibbs sampler, that are not yet practicable for conventional images.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constructing Inverse Probability Weights for Marginal Structural Models

TL;DR: The authors describe possible tradeoffs that an epidemiologist may encounter when attempting to make inferences and weight truncation is presented as an informal and easily implemented method to deal with these tradeoffs.
