Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations: This earliest outcome in this study is COVID-19 laboratory confirmed diagnosis and not infection. A statewide seroprevalence study estimated that about 9% of COVID-19 cases through March 2020 had been diagnosed in NYS.46 Differences in diagnosis propensity among PLWDH or between PLWDH and the non-PLWDH population could alter the interpretation of some findings. Our analyses were limited to the demographic and laboratory data available in NYS’s HIV surveillance and COVID-19 registries, precluding more in-depth investigations into the role played by co-morbidities and underlying medical conditions, COVID-19 risk behaviors, and social determinants of health. It is important to further investigate how the observed associations may be changed by information on co-morbidities and underlying medical conditions, COVID-19 risk behaviors, and social determinants of health with more comprehensive data sources such as medical chart reviews. Our denominator of PLWDH included people who died between January 1 and June 15, 2020 and excluded persons newly diagnosed with HIV during this same timeframe. Because these numbers have historically offset each other, the impact of this limitation is likely negligible.
