Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Study Limitations: Our study conclusions are specific to a vaccine-naive patient population that sought care at UCSF Health in 2020 and may not be generalizable to populations in other settings or at later time points in the pandemic. Furthermore, our study population differed somewhat in racial and ethnic composition from that of the Bay Area population. The reasons for this discrepancy could have reflected the region’s geographic heterogeneity in the distribution of Asian individuals, as well as other factors, including but not limited to variations in patient access to or preference for UCSF Health care facilities, patient willingness to seek medical care, health insurance coverage-dictated limitations, and referral effects. Patients who lived a distance from a UCSF Health facility may have been less likely to seek care at UCSF Health and thus would been less likely to be included in the study population. For example, Santa Clara County, the most populous in the nine-county Bay Area, lies beyond the immediate referral zone of UCSF Health yet has highest percentage of Asian individuals (38.9%) in the region. Furthermore, it is conceivable that any such distance-related access barriers would have been more difficult to overcome for individuals with higher social vulnerability and lower socioeconomic status. At the same time, amongst large, regional health care systems in the San Francisco Bay Area during the study period, UCSF Health cared for a disproportionately greater sh...
