Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:This is an important limitation of this work. If feasible, we will update this report as more data become available. We intend for these findings to be used to contextualize potential increases in adverse events of special interest (AESI)11 during the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in NH residents. Whereas mortality, hospitalization, and ED visit rates were highly stable over 10 pre-pandemic years, the marked changes in rates observed during 2020 indicate that caution is needed in determining the appropriate baseline to use when interpreting rates of AESIs following the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Existing investigations on mortality in elderly and frail individuals who received COVID-19 vaccines has identified that mortality rates were consistent with high background rates of death in this population;12 our data will help contextualize Canada- and Ontario-specific rates in a similar way.
