Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Although we have a more robust dataset than many previous studies, there are several limitations to this study. Our population of interest is different from prior work, thus generalization of these findings may not be appropriate. Applying our population’s findings with a more uniform wealth distribution and different distribution of commodities to a population that looks more like the US may result in inappropriate conclusions and triaging of patients. Also, given the timeframe of when our data was obtained, some hospitals within HCA may have not had as robust of a testing infrastructure, and some patient subtypes may not have been included. Additionally, there are other SDoH and confounding variables that are not included in our data, and our use of insurance status to reflect socioeconomic status is not as well validated as using a patient’s zip code. Finally, our data does not include patients that died outside of the hospital. Certain groups without access to healthcare were likely not included in our population. Not including these patients likely took some extremely sick and low resource patients out of our analysis. Further research may look at the effects on these outcomes after the introduction of vaccines and how that has affected the distribution of outcomes.
