Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Second, our study design examined documented, self-reported Covid-19 cases in the general smartphone user population, overcoming limitations related to capturing only more severe cases through administrative hospitalization records or death reports. Third, we examined the risk of predicted Covid-19 according to racial and ethnic groups and found results largely consistent with those of self-reported Covid-19. This approach was not dependent on differences in testing availability which might vary across racial and ethnic groups. Finally, we collected information on and adjusted for a wide range of known or suspected risk factors for Covid-19, which are generally not available in existing registries or population-scale surveillance efforts. Our study has several limitations. While the use of syndromic surveillance to better understand Covid-19 disparities has great strengths in flexibility, speed and sample size, this methodology is largely dependent upon self-reported data, and therefore susceptible to measurement bias, residual confounding bias, and selection (collider) bias. The probability of app participation, reporting, or access may be differential according to Covid-19 outcomes, minority status and/or covariates.35,36 Smartphone-based tools may preclude participation of certain populations such as elderly, low-income, or non-English speakers. Although our study had a relatively small proportion of racial-ethnic minorities compared to census estimates, we enrolled a high...
