Discussion: COVID-19 risk, disparities and outcomes in patients with chronic liver disease in the United States

  • Patients with CLD especially with a recent encounter with CLD in the past year were at a significantly higher risk for COVID-19 compared to those without CLD
  • African Americans with CLD were 2x more likely to get COVID-19 than Caucasians
  • COVID-19 patients with CLD had increased rates of hospitalization and death than people that are COVID-19 negative with CLD and those that were positive without CLD
  • Limitations to the study due to use of patient EHR data for analysis: (1) possible under diagnosis, misdiagnosis, over diagnosis, and limited information regarding treatments and medications the patients are undergoing; (2) no detailed information on the socioeconomics and geographic of the patient population; (3) no representation for all of the US or for other countries just documented encounters with CLD in the US healthcare system
