Ethics IRB: Data: Under an institutional review board (IRB)-approved protocol (IRB #20-30545), we analyzed the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF Sex as a biological variable not detected. Randomization not detected. Blinding not detected. Power Analysis not detected. Cell Line Authentication Authentication: The CDC SVI is a validated index that incorporates four different sub-measures: socioeconomic factors, household composition and disability status, minority status and primary language spoken, and housing type and primary transportation modality employed [23].

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Study Limitations: Our study was conducted on the patient population of a large academic health care system in the San Francisco Bay Area during the pre-vaccination phase of the COVID-19 pandemic; accordingly, these specific findings may not be generalizable to populations in other settings or at different time points. Some differences in the racial and ethnic composition of the study cohort and that of the Bay Area were noted, possibly reflecting differences in the demo-graphics of the counties closest to UCSF Health locations, variations in patient access to and willingness to seek care at UCSF Health care facilities, health insurance coverage–dictated limitations, and referral effects. Patients who lived a distance from a UCSF Health facility, and in particular individuals with higher social vulnerability and lower socioeconomic status, may have been less likely to seek care at UCSF Health and thus would been less likely to be included in the study population. Mitigating any such effects is the fact that, among large, regional health care systems in the San Francisco Bay Area during the study period, UCSF Health cared for a disproportionately greater share of uninsured and underinsured patients. Errors in self-reported residence address data were corrected manually when possible (e.g., misspelled street names and transposed zip code digits) but records with missing street addresses or other unresolvable errors were excluded. These limitations may have introduced some syste...
