People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and COVID-19 Outcomes

People with IDD had higher prevalence of specific co-morbidities associated with poorer COVID-19 outcomes such as hypertension, heart disease, respiratory disease, and diabetes
Overall case-fatality rates similar for those with IDD (5.1%) and those without
Within 18–74 years age range, case-fatality rate higher for IDD population(4.5%) compared to those without IDD (2.7%), and also in the 0–17 years age group, but not among those 75 years and older
Not enough data on people with IDD even though they have higher risk of identified co-morbidities
Case-fatality rates in this study were similar for people with and without IDD when not accounting for age, but considerably different when accounting for age
